Abstract

PURPOSE: We introduce and validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-accelerated multi-shot echo-planar imaging (msEPI)-based method that provides T1w, T2w, , T2-FLAIR, and DWI images with high SNR, high tissue contrast, low specific absorption rates (SAR), and minimal distortion in 2 minutes.
