Figure 3.
Signal leakage (L-) factor maps show little difference in signal leakage for MB3 with PESHIFT = FOV/3 (A) or no PESHIFT (B), while there is significant difference in signal leakage for MB4 with PESHIFT = FOV/4 (C) and no PESHIFT (D). For high MB factors, e.g., MB = 8 (E) or MB = 12 (F), the signal leakage is most pronounced in adjacent simultaneously acquired slices, as well as those MB slices that directly overlap on top of each other (black boxes), despite the applied PESHIFT = FOV/4.
