Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the presence of metallic objects suffers from slice‐selection errors and in‐plane distortions. View angle tilting (VAT) corrects for in‐plane distortions by adding a gradient on the slice‐select axis during readout, but can suffer from image blurring. This work demonstrates that the major source of blurring is a slice profile modulation of the data, and proposes several solutions to prevent such blurring. Multiple high‐bandwidth readouts are demonstrated to reduce the blurring while improving the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) over a single high‐bandwidth readout.
