Multi-slice SE-EPI aortic MRE using an FB protocol or a single-BH protocol is reproducible and repeatable with advantage over multi-slice FB GRE in reducing acquisition time. Additionally, FB SE-EPI MRE provides a potential alternative to BH scans for patients who have challenges in holding their breath.
