xSPEN is a single-shot MRI approach whose timing and pre-acquisition hyperbolic phase, endow it with exceptional resilience to offsets. We recently introduced multi-scan, phase-encoded (PE) 3D xSPEN MRI which preserves this while increasing resolution along the PE (y) and slab-selection (z) dimensions. It is here shown that parallel receivers endow this 3D approach with unprecedented PE downsampling performances. This reflects xSPEN’s unusual kernel, whose hyperbolic phase couples the directly-sampled kz information with the y coil sensors. This mitigates the artifacts associated with a highly undersampled ky axis, as demonstrated by highly accelerated in vitro and human scans.
