In order to understand the advantages and disadvantages of different data reconstruction and channels combining algorithms in case of parallel MR imaging with hyperpolarized 3He, the acquisitions using in-house built 32 channels phased array were performed with several improved scan protocols (multi-slice 2D, 3D, dynamic, 3D Diffusion). The different methods, namely mSENSE, GRAPPA with Adaptive Combine and Sum-of-Square channel combining were applied to raw data to compare the quality of reconstructed images.
