abstract：PURPOSE:Either SENSE+CG or POCS-ICE methods can be used to correct for motion-induced phase errors in navigator-free multishot diffusion imaging. SENSE+CG has the advantage of a fast convergence, however, occasionally the convergence can be unstable, thus degrading the image quality. POCS-ICE has a stable convergence a...
