Evaluation of Motion-Corrected Multishot Echo-Planar Imaging as an Alternative to Gradient Recalled-Echo for Blood-Sensitive Imaging [ADULT BRAIN]

SUMMARY:
We evaluated motion-corrected multishot EPI compared with gradient recalled-echo imaging to determine whether it can be used as a faster technique for blood-sensitive imaging in the emergency department setting. Multishot EPI was found to be superior to gradient recalled-echo (P < .05) in motion artifacts, overall image quality, and lesion detection. These results and reduced scan time make motion-corrected multishot EPI a viable alternative for blood-sensitive imaging in the emergency department setting.
