  3. Parallel Imaging – simplistic overview Coil sensitivity maps Partial k-space data from 2 coils Reconstructed image + = Parallel Imaging

  4. Undersampled k-space = aliased image Full k-space Undersampled k-space Reconstructed image Parallel Imaging

  5. Multiple coils = information to fix aliasing Coils with complementary sensitivities Full k-space Undersampled k-space Parallel Imaging

  6. Parallel Imaging – SENSE ACQUIRE RECONSTRUCT COMBINE Coil sensitivity, partial k-space Images from each coil Images from all coils, using coil sensitivity maps Parallel Imaging

  7. Parallel Imaging – SMASH ACQUIRE RECONSTRUCT COMBINE Coil sensitivity, partial k-space Missing lines of k-space, using coil sensitivity maps Images from all coils Parallel Imaging

  8. SENSE recon: idealized example L1(x,y) Reconstructed  Ln(x,y) = Cn(x,y)*(x,y) + Cn(x,y+NPE/2)*(x,y+NPE/2) Parallel Imaging

  9. Pineapple: fake 2-channel coil, noise (with perfect knowledge of coil sensitivity) Parallel Imaging

  10. Pineapple: fake 2-channel coil, noise (with imperfect knowledge of coil sensitivity) Parallel Imaging

  11. Pineapple: fake 2-channel coil, not ind. Parallel Imaging

  12. Parallel imaging terminology • Methods • iPAT – Siemens name for all of its parallel imaging implementations • SENSE • SMASH • GRAPPA – auto-calibrating SMASH-like technique • Parameters • Reduction factor: integer describing k-space undersampling • g: describes degradation of reconstructed image due to lack of independence between coil sensitivities (limits useful reduction factor) • High field advantage • … of course … Parallel Imaging
