SENSE & Susceptibility: Respiration-Related Susceptibility Effects and their Interactions with Parallel Imaging

Most functional MRI studies rely on fast Echo Planar Imaging, which is sensitive to magnetic susceptibility effects. These effects can lead to image-to-image signal instability, reducing the reliability of functional activation maps. Respiration is responsible for a significant component of image-to...
