Abstract :
Sequential MRI data acquisition could become a parallel process, thus reducing scan time significantly. PSA provides a means for such massive parallel detection. The theoretical analyses of the reactive field, coupling, and Q-factors of PSA are presented, and they were validated by the experimental measurements of in vivo MRI with PSA.
