Background:

  • Parallel imaging (PI) was developed to accelerate cardiac imaging.
  • PI techniques are now used to reduce artifacts in single-shot imaging methods.
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) benefits from PI for artifact reduction and speed enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diverse applications of parallel imaging (PI) in functional brain imaging (fMRI).
  • To provide the fundamental theoretical background of PI techniques relevant to fMRI.
  • To discuss the hardware advancements enabling rapid, high signal-to-noise ratio PI-fMRI.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on parallel imaging applications in fMRI.
  • Explanation of the theoretical principles underlying PI in MRI.
