[Mristudio-users] SS-EPI and SS SE EPI

[susumu mori]

Hi Venkateswaran,

I believe the amount of the distortion is the same between EPI and SS-EPI. I
also believe EPI suffers more from signal drop due to the susceptibility
artifacts compared to SS-EPI simply because EPI miss the top-of-the-echo
time points for data acquisition.
