TY  - JOUR
AB  - PURPOSE: The study aims to assess the potential of referenceless methods of EPI ghost correction to accelerate the acquisition of in vivo diffusion tensor cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DT-CMR) data using both computational simulations and data from in vivo experiments. METHODS: Three referenceless EPI ghost correction methods were evaluated on mid-ventricular short axis DT-CMR spin echo and STEAM datasets from 20 healthy subjects at 3T. The reduced field of view excitation technique was used to automatically quantify the Nyquist ghosts, and DT-CMR images were fit to a linear ghost model for correction. RESULTS: Numerical simulation showed the singular value decomposition (SVD) method is the least sensitive to noise, followed by Ghost/Object method and entropy-based method. In vivo experiments showed significant ghost reduction for all correction methods, with referenceless methods outperforming navigator methods for both spin echo and STEAM sequences at b = 32, 150, 450, and 600     smm - 2   $$ {\mathrm{smm}}^{-2} $$  . It is worth noting that as the strength of the diffusion encoding increases, the performance gap between the referenceless method and the navigator-based method diminishes. CONCLUSION: Referenceless ghost correction effectively reduces Nyquist ghost in DT-CMR data, showing promise for enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of measurements in clinical practice without the need for any additional reference scans.
