When compared with conventional EPI, ERASE is much less sensitive, not only to EPI-related artifacts such as Nyquist ghosting, but also to B0 inhomogeneity including magnetic susceptibility effects. It is promising for use in BOLD-fMRI, providing higher temporal SNR and t-scores with constant TE when compared with EPI, although further optimization is needed for human fMRI.
