Abstract: We evaluated motion-corrected multishot EPI compared with gradient recalled-echo imaging to determine whether it can be used as a faster technique for blood-sensitive imaging in the emergency department setting. Multishot EPI was found to be superior to gradient recalled-echo (P , .05) in motion artifacts, overall image quality, and lesion detection. These results and reduced scan time make motion-corrected multishot EPI a viable alternative for blood-sensitive imaging in the emergency department setting.

PurposeBrain MRI is increasingly used in the emergency department (ED), where ‐weighted MRI is an essential tool for detecting hemorrhage and stroke. The goal of this study was to develop a rapid ‐weighted MRI technique capable of correcting motion‐induced artifacts, thereby simultaneously improving scan time and motion robustness for ED applications.MethodsA 2D gradient‐echo (GRE)–based multishot EPI (msEPI) technique was implemented using a navigator echo for estimating motion‐induced errors. Bulk rigid head motion and phase errors were retrospectively corrected using an iterative conjugate gradient approach in the reconstruction pipeline. Three volunteers and select patients were imaged at 3 T and/or 1.5 T with an approximately 1‐min full‐brain protocol using the proposed msEPI technique and compared to an approximately 3‐min standard‐of‐care GRE protocol to examine its performance.ResultsData from volunteers demonstrated that in‐plane motion artifacts could be effectively corrected with the proposed msEPI technique, and through‐plane motion artifacts could be mitigated. Patient images were qualitatively reviewed by one radiologist without a formal statistical analysis. These results suggested the proposed technique could correct motion‐induced artifacts in the clinical setting. In addition, the conspicuity of susceptibility‐related lesions using the proposed msEPI technique was comparable, or improved, compared to GRE.ConclusionA 1‐min full‐brain ‐weighted MRI technique was developed using msEPI with a navigator echo to correct motion‐induced errors. Preliminary clinical results suggest faster scans and improved motion robustness and lesion conspicuity make msEPI a competitive alternative to traditional ‐weighted MRI techniques for brain studies in the ED.
