  • Apparatus and method for magnetic resonance imaging employing partial parallel acquisition with formation of signal combinations and solving of an equation system based thereon
    Patent number: 6734673
    Abstract: In a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus and a method for operating such an apparatus employing a “partially parallel acquisition” (PPA), the number of the k-rows to be determined in a readout cycle corresponds to the number of coils, so that exposure time for acquiring an MR image is shortened for a given image quality, or the image quality is enhanced for a given exposure time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 6, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 11, 2004
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventor: Juergen Agrikola
