A) Conventional SSH-BBI with TSE shot duration of 436 ms. Note the increased blurring and systolic acquisition due to the long readout; B) SSH-BBI with the applicatin of SENSE in AP direction dreduces the readout duration to 270 ms; C) SSH-BBI with SENCE (in the FH direction) and ZOOM reduces the readout duration further to 164 ms bringing a substantial improvement quality. The yellow arrows point the phase-encoding direction, and the acquired voxel size was 1.5 × 2 mm for all three acquisitions.
