Two-Fold Phase Encoded SENSE Acceleration with a Single-Channel Coil

Andre Jesmanowicz¹, Andrew S. Nencka¹, James S. Hyde¹

The addition to SENSE of spatial variation of the magnetization phase doubles the number of useful non-singular equations in the method. Phase encoded SENSE (P-SENSE) described here can be used without the need for spatial variation of coil sensitivities. An acceleration factor of up to 2 can be achieved in a single-coil MRI environment.
