ABSTRACT
Partial Fourier encoding is popular in single-shot (ss) diffusion-weighted (DW) echo planar imaging (EPI) because it enables a shorter echo time (TE) and, hence, improves the signal-to-noise-ratio. Motion during diffusion encoding causes k-space shifting and dispersion, which compromises the quality of the homodyne reconstruction. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the artifacts in homodyne reconstruction of partial Fourier ss-DW-EPI data in the presence of motion-induced phase and proposes the motion-induced phase-corrected homodyne (mpc-hdyne) reconstruction method to ameliorate these artifacts. Simulations with different types of motion-induced phase were performed to provide an understanding of the potential artifacts that occur in the homodyne reconstruction of partial Fourier ss-DW-EPI data. To correct for the artifacts, the mpc-hdyne reconstruction is proposed. The algorithm recenters k-space, updates the partial Fourier factor according to detected global k-space shifts, and removes low-resolution nonlinear phase before the conventional homodyne reconstruction. The mpc-hdyne reconstruction is tested on both simulation and in vivo data. Motion-induced phase can cause signal overestimation, worm artifacts, and signal loss in partial Fourier ss-DW-EPI data with the conventional homodyne reconstruction. Simulation and in vivo data showed that the proposed mpc-hdyne reconstruction ameliorated artifacts, yielding higher quality DW images compared with conventional homodyne reconstruction. Based on the understanding of the artifacts in homodyne reconstruction of partial Fourier ss-DW-EPI data, the mpc-hdyne reconstruction was proposed and showed superior performance compared with the conventional homodyne reconstruction on both simulation and in vivo data.
