In full FOV images (a-d), the increase of resolution reduces SNR. Although the low SNR can be compensated by a narrower receiver bandwidth, this lengthens the echo spacing and hence makes the blurring more severe, as seen in Fig.3d. Using RFOV imaging (e-h), the blurring artifact is significantly reduced as demonstrated in Fig. 3h compared to Fig. 3d due to a much shorter echo train length.
