Fast imaging using subencoding data sets from multiple detectors.
A new fast imaging method using a subencoding data acquisition scheme and a multiple coil receiver system is proposed and demonstrated. In this method, a set of aliased images are produced from receiver coils by using the subencoded data without sacrificing the desired resolution, and resolved to an aliasing-free image by using the distance-dependent sensitivity information of each coil. The reduction rate of data acquisition time is proportional to the number of receiver coils. This method can be easily adapted to conventional imaging methods including fast imaging to further reduce the scan time.
