EPI Nyquist Ghost Correction by Iteratively Enforcing Structural Low Rankness

This study presents a Nyquist ghost correction method by iteratively enforcing low rankness of the block-wise Hankel matrix and updating the 1D linear model for phase correction. The proposed method was evaluated with multi-shot EPI data at both ultra-high field (7T) and low field (0.3T). Compared with existing SVD-based method, the proposed method requires much fewer iterations to achieve similar performance, provides a computationally efficient and robust solution to EPI Nyquist ghost correction.
