title: A computer simulation of motion in turbo FLASH imaging and echo-planar imaging.
abstract: We have experimentally demonstrated motion effects in a turbo FLASH imaging (TFI) using a small cylindrical phantom moving at constant velocity. To further verify these experimental results, image blurring is assessed by using a computer simulation in this study. By applying the same acquisition parameters as phantom experiments, the simulation images are reconstructed to compare with the experimental results. Several kinds of configurations are applied to the simulation of the TFI. A computer simulation of an echo-planar imaging (EPI) is also used to compare the motion effects with TFI.
