Deconvolution-based distortion correction of EPI using analytic single-voxel point-spread functions.

abstract：PURPOSE:Cardiac stimulation (CS) limits to gradient coil switching speed are difficult to measure in humans; instead, current regulatory guidelines (IEC 60601-2-33) are based on animal experiments and electric field-to-dB/dt conversion factors computed for a simple, homogeneous body model. We propose improvement to thi...
