  • Roll-over aliasing suppression in undersampled images
    Patent number: 5109854
    Abstract: A fully sampled data set is generated and stored in a fully sampled memory (42). An undersampled data set corresponding to a portion of the same field of view as the fully sampled data set is generated and stored in an undersampled data memory (62). The fully sampled data set includes a frequency encoded data line corresponding to each of the phase encode gradient steps or angles required to span the selected field of view with a selected resolution. The undersampled data set includes data lines with only a fraction of the phase encoding steps or angles. The fully sampled data set is Fourier transformed (44) into a fully sampled image representation (50) and stored in a fully sampled image memory (46). The undersampled data is Fourier transformed (44) into an undersampled image representation (66) and stored in an undersampled image memory (64). The undersampled image (FIG.
