Rapid MRI using multiple receivers producing multiply phase-encoded data derived from a single NMR response.

摘要

Method and apparatus for more rapidly capturing MRI data by receiving and recording NMR RF responses in plural substantially independent RF signal receiving and processing channels during the occurrence of an NMR RF response. The resulting plural data sets respectively provided by the plural RF channels are then used to produce multiply phase-encoded MRI data from the single NMR RF response. Practical examples are disclosed for reducing required MRI data capturing time by factors of at least about one-half.
