An parallel imaging acceleration of a least a factor of 3 is
feasible with a 72-channel body array at 7T.
T2w
images with SENSE 1 (left), 2 (center) and 4 (right). Bottom row shows
magnification of the prostate. From an acceleration of 4 small artefacts are
observed, as well as the expected reduction in SNR.
3D
T1w acquisition of the lower body. Left, no SENSE acceleration, right: 3x3
SENSE acceleration. Artefacts are predominately in the peripheral region of the
body.
