ABSTRACT:
In apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging equipped for parallel imaging, in the sense that an array of receive coils can be used to regenerate data at phase-encode gradients interposed between those at which measurements were taken, the full set of data is collected, which is then split into two sets with a greater separation of phase-encode gradients (FIGS.13and14). These sets are then each regenerated (FIGS.15and16), enabling spurious data to be excised from the original data set by comparison of the two representations.
