“…On the other hand, highresolution MRI, which may benefit most from skipped-CAIPI sampling, also benefits most from volumetric (3D) imaging. 33,52 For multi-echo fMRI [53][54][55][56] or ultrahigh-field fMRI, where often partial Fourier sampling and large R y are employed to minimize EF, TE, and geometric distortions, alternative skipped-CAIPI sampling is valuable, in particular with high-density receive arrays 13,18 or for laminar resolution imaging. 57,58 Furthermore, eased matching of the phase encode bandwidth between scans with different matrix sizes or CAIPI patterns fosters rapid, distortion-matched highcontrast acquisitions, 19,59,60 even at resolutions differing from the corresponding functional scan.…”
