Embodiment Construction

[0096] Like numbered elements in these figures are the same element or perform the same function. Elements that have been discussed before will not necessarily be discussed in later figures, where the function is the same.

[0097] figure 1 The shown block diagram illustrates an embodiment of the method according to the invention. This method can be implemented as a computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and also as instructions stored on a computer-readable storage medium. In step 100, a set of coil array data of an imaging volume is acquired using a coil array. In step 102, body coil data is acquired using a body coil. Step 100 or 102 may be performed first. During steps 100 and 102, the body coil data and / or coil array data are sub-sampled. In step 104, the set of coil sensitivity maps is reconstructed using the set of coil array data and the body coil data. In step 106, magnetic resonance imaging data of the imaging volume is acquired. In step 108,...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to magnetic resonance imaging, and more particularly to the acquisition of magnetic resonance images using parallel imaging methods. Background technique [0002] In magnetic resonance imaging there is a series of image reconstruction techniques or methods for reconstructing magnetic resonance images, which are referred to as parallel imaging techniques. An example of this is the sensitivity coding or SENSE reconstruction technique. In SENSE, conventional Fourier encoding is simplified by exploiting spatial information about the individual antenna elements of a multi-element coil array. This simplification of the Fourier encoding allows for faster acquisition of the magnetic resonance imaging data required for magnetic resonance images. [0003] In order to perform high-quality SENSE reconstructions, accurate knowledge of the receiver coil sensitivity is required. Coil sensitivity was estimated from low-resolution refer...
