Q&A with Fuyixue Wang and Kawin Setsompop

In today’s Q&A, Krishna Nayak from USC interviewed Fuyixue Wang and Kawin Setsompop from the Martinos center about their recent paper on Echo-planar time resolved imaging (EPTI). EPTI is an extension of Tilted-CAIPI, encoding data in ky-t space to take advantage of signal correlation along these dimensions.
