This effect is well known for projection reconstruction and spiral k- space scanning sequences. We introduce here a method that automatically removes blur introduced by magnetic field inhomogeneity and susceptibility without using a resonant frequency map, making these imaging methods more useful. In this method, the raw data are modulated to several different frequencies and reconstructed to create a series of base images. Determination of degree of blur is done by calculating a focusing measure for each point in each base image and a composite image is then constructed using only the unblurred regions from each base image. This method has been successfully applied to phantom and in vivo images using projection-reconstruction and spiral-scan sequences. 0 1992 Academic Prm, Inc. INTRODUCTION The collection of data for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on spin warp or 2D Fourier transform (2DFT) k-space trajectories ( I , 2) has some significant advantages over other k-space trajectories,and one of the most important o
