I gave this lecture at Boston Children's Hospital. This lecture describes the types of artifacts seen in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with an introduction to 3D imaging.
Yes they are the same. interleaving is sampling the signal from every other slice so as to eliminate crosstalk. Used in the spine mostly (Lumbar). If we sample from slice 1 down to slice 11 we get cross talk / cross excitation / overlap, but if we sample interleaved we go slice 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, then slice 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10.
