FIG 13. Same section position in axial EPI images of the same subject (TR, 4090 ms; TE, 54 ms; isotropic voxel size, 3.3 mm; 36 sections at 3.0T). Decrease of susceptibility effects with increasing bandwidth (in Hz/pixel) due to shorter echo spacing and duration of EPI readout. At low bandwidths (752 Hz/pixel, in this example), distortion effects from the frontal sinus are clearly obvious; however, very high bandwidths (4882 Hz/pixel) do not yield a significant further reduction of distortions that are already achieved with bandwidths at 2520 Hz/pixel.
