(a) Blipped-CAIPI readout gradients for EPI (red) and CEPI (blue) for a 22 cm FOV and 64X64 resolution acquisition. These gradients provide an acceleration of R = 4 (Ry = 2 and Rz = 2) (b) kx-ky k-space for the EPI (red) and CEPI (blue) gradients. (c) Diagram of the k-space for SMS (red) and 3D (red and blue) acquisitions. (d) Diagram of the SMS and 3D k-space for R = 8 (Ry = 4 and Rz = 2). The spatial coverage is N = 32 total slices with thickness Δz = 3 mm. (e) Diagram depicting slab selection for 3D (blue) and NSMS = 4 (red).
