In regions suffering from magnetic susceptibility effects, the use of BOLD optimized echo combination for averaging Single-Shot/Multi-Echo EPI data across echos, leads to voxels with improves signal but reduced BOLD sensitivity. The use of Multi-shot/Multi-Echo EPI can suppress the susceptibility effects allowing BOLD optimized echo averaging that retains BOLD sensitivity.
