Abstract
A method of a conducting a magnetic resonance imaging experiment with an interleaved phase encoding acquisition includes setting an interleave factor which is an imaging parameter that represents the number of interleaves in the interleaved phase encoding acquisition, and determining an artifact suppression factor. The artifact suppression factor is an imaging parameter that represents an amount of SBA suppression achieved in the imaging experiment being conducted. The method further includes determining if the artifact suppression factor falls within a range. When the artifact suppression factor falls outside the range, notification is provided, and when the artifact suppression factor falls inside the range, a sequence of progression is determined for an excitation slab employed in the imaging experiment.
