In Cartesian SENSE parallel imaging the g-factor
measures the noise propagation due to ill-conditioning
of the matrix inversion during the reconstruction. To
the best of our knowledge, the g-factor of SENSE images
acquired with the PROPELLER method has never been
studied. In this abstract, we propose a method to
directly calculate g-factor map for SENSE reconstruction
with PROPELLER trajectories and compare it to a
Monte-Carlo simulation. In comparison with Cartesian
imaging, experimental results demonstrate that the
proposed method provides a useful tool for identifying
noise behavior in PROPELLER SENSE and is computationally
feasible in practice.
