ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for ameliorating high-field image distortion in magnetic resonance imaging of tissue. Two separate scans of a target region are taken with different phase and amplitude values for each scan. The phase and amplitude values of each scan are selected to be complimentary so as to provide scans that have improved SNR when averaged using, for example, sum-of-squares averaging.
