Planar Imaging
 
Imaging technique in which the image of a plane is built up from signals received from the whole plane. The data is collected simultaneously from an entire layer.

See also Sequential Plane Imaging.

Echo Planar Imaging Timing Diagram (EPI) Echo planar imaging is one of the early magnetic resonance imaging sequences (also known as Intascan), used in applications like diffusion, perfusion, and functional magnetic resonance imaging. Other sequences acquire one k-space line at each phase encoding step. When the echo planar imaging acquisition strategy is used, the complete image is formed from a single data sample (all k-space lines are measured in one repetition time) of a gradient echo or spin echo sequence (see single shot technique) with an acquisition time of about 20 to 100 ms. The pulse sequence timing diagram illustrates an echo planar imaging sequence from spin echo type with eight echo train pulses. (See also Pulse Sequence Timing Diagram, for a description of the components.)
In case of a gradient echo based EPI sequence the initial part is very similar to a standard gradient echo sequence. By periodically fast reversing the readout or frequency encoding gradient, a train of echoes is generated.
EPI requires higher performance from the MRI scanner like much larger gradient amplitudes. The scan time is dependent on the spatial resolution required, the strength of the applied gradient fields and the time the machine needs to ramp the gradients.
In EPI, there is water fat shift in the phase encoding direction due to phase accumulations. To minimize water fat shift (WFS) in the phase direction fat suppression and a wide bandwidth (BW) are selected. On a typical EPI sequence, there is virtually no time at all for the flat top of the gradient waveform. The problem is solved by "ramp sampling" through most of the rise and fall time to improve image resolution.
The benefits of the fast imaging time are not without cost. EPI is relatively demanding on the scanner hardware, in particular on gradient strengths, gradient switching times, and receiver bandwidth. In addition, EPI is extremely sensitive to image artifacts and distortions.

Echo Planar Imaging Factor
 
(EPI Factor) The imaging speed in Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) depends on many factors. Single shot EPI should provide images within 100 ms or less. Because of this limitations, a multi shot EPI approach is in most cases preferred. The parameter 'EPI Factor' is used to specify the number of k-space profiles collected per excitation.
The EPI factor 64 means a measurement time 64 times faster than a normal gradient echo sequence. See also Echo Planar Imaging.
