Abstract :
Parallel magnetic resonance imaging techniques use spatial information from arrays of radiofrequency detector coils to accelerate imaging. A number of parallel MRI techniques have been described in recent years, and numerous clinical applications are currently being explored. The advent of practical parallel imaging presents various challenges for image reconstruction and RF system design.
