What Does EPI Stand For?
EPI stands for Echo Planar Imaging
EPI, or Echo Planar Imaging, is a fast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique that captures entire slices of the body in a single pulse sequence. This method significantly reduces acquisition time while maintaining high resolution, making it particularly useful for functional imaging and dynamic studies, such as detecting brain activity or monitoring anatomical changes over time. EPI is widely utilized in clinical and research settings for its efficiency and ability to provide real-time imaging.
