Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Medical Imaging Technology
  • Parallel Imaging

Background:

  • Traditional MRI is limited by scan times and the need for extensive coil arrays for large field-of-view imaging.
  • Sensitivity Encoding (SENSE) is a parallel imaging technique that accelerates MRI acquisition by undersampling k-space.
  • Integrating moving table capabilities with parallel imaging presents challenges in maintaining image quality and reconstruction accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel MRI approach combining a continuously moving table with SENSE parallel imaging.
  • To enable efficient, head-to-toe volumetric imaging with a reduced number of receiver coils.
  • To assess the feasibility and performance range of this integrated imaging technique.

Main Methods:

  • A specific MR system geometry was configured with a fixed receiver array and a moving patient table.
  • Sensitivity maps were generated for an enlarged virtual field of view, adapted to the k-space sampling strategy.
  • Established parallel reconstruction algorithms were applied, approximating their applicability.
  • In vivo experiments and simulations were conducted to evaluate the method's performance and determine its application limits.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method successfully demonstrated feasibility in in vivo experiments.
  • Simulations provided insights into the achievable application range for this imaging technique.
  • Three-dimensional head-to-toe MRI of volunteers was achieved in a rapid 77 seconds.
  • A SENSE reduction factor of 2 was utilized within a large virtual field of view (1800 x 460 x 100 mm³).

Conclusions:

  • The combination of a moving table and SENSE parallel imaging is a feasible approach for rapid, large-volume MRI.
  • This technique allows for efficient head-to-toe imaging with a reduced coil count, enhancing practical MRI workflows.
  • The study validates the potential of this method for accelerating whole-body MRI examinations.
