Use of Analytic Image Concept in MR Parallel Imaging

摘要

In the concern of speeding the acquisition time parallel magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI), that uses data obtained simultaneously from several receiver coils with distinct spatial sensitivities, is often used. Several solutions for combining data from involved coils have already been presented. The goal of this paper is to propose a new solution which takes advantage of the benefits of the analytic image concept for reconstructing pMRI. The proposed method was evaluated by experiments on mouse brain data and compared with the conventional Sum-of-Square and Roemer reconstruction techniques. According to the satisfactory results, both in qualitative and quantitative meaning, provided by the proposed reconstruction method, reconstructed images can be used as reference in many parallel acquisition schemas.
