We describe a more accurate analytical method to calculate the g-factor in dual kernel Slice-GRAPPA (SG-DK) reconstruction for blipped-CAIPI simultaneous multi-slice EPI data. To account for the effect of EPI phase correction, the Slice-GRAPPA kernels are phase corrected before the combination with the in-plane GRAPPA kernel. The experimental results based on a phantom study highlight that there is excellent agreement between SNR maps calculated with the standard pseudo multiple-replica method and the proposed method.
