High-spatial resolution, high-quality white matter tractography using DTI with dynamic slice-by-slice B0 shimming in a head-only high-gradient performance 3T MRI scanner

Data from conventional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) using single-shot echo planar imaging (SS-EPI) acquisition are substantially influenced by magnetic field inhomogeneities (delta B0), which result in image distortion and signal dephasing. Multi-shot EPI can mitigate the delta B0-induced artifacts but at the cost of...
