As a pure phase encoding technique, Single Point Imaging (SPI) has a great potential to reduce metal-induced artifacts, at the cost of long acquisition times normally not suited for clinical use. In this contribution, we present an approach combining SPI with reduced field-of-view imaging and SPARSE-SENSE reconstruction techniques, by using inductively coupled coils (ICC) for local signal boosting and multi-element receive coils. Initial phantom and in-vivo results show reduced metal artifacts at clinically acceptable scan times with the proposed techniques.
