Abstract
In this work, a new method has been proposed to accelerate the PROPELLER MRI operation. The proposed method uses a rotary phased array coil and a new method in acquiring the k-space strips and preparing the complete k-space trajectories data set. It is numerically shown that for a 12 strips PROPELLER MR brain imaging sequence, the operation time can be reduced by four folds, with no apparent loss in the image quality.
