Magnetic resonance imaging

摘要

In magnetic resonance imaging apparatus employing magnetic gradient fields in a phase-encode and in a read-out direction for spatially encoding excited MR active nuclei in a region of interest of a patient, in which a reduced number of readings in the read-out direction is taken, thereby creating an aliased reduced field of view image, at least two r.f. receive coils are used together with sensitivity information concerning those coils in order to unfold the aliased image to produce a full image while taking advantage of the reduced time of collection of data. In accordance with the invention, sensitivity information is collected at a lower resolution than that at which the image information is collected.
