FAST IMAGING USING SUBENCODING DATA SETS FROM MULTIPLE DETECTORS

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