Evaluation of slice accelerations using multiband echo planar imaging at 3T

We evaluate residual aliasing among simultaneously excited and acquired slices in slice accelerated multiband (MB) echo planar imaging (EPI). No in-plane accelerations were used in order to maximize and evaluate achievable slice acceleration factors at 3. T. We propose a novel leakage (L-) factor to...
