Within the last few years, a number of strategies have been developed to overcome these limitations. The use of parallel acquisition techniques on MRI systems with multiple receiver channels now allows the increase of spatial resolution at almost no cost in scan time.Monday, 22 Jan 2007 12:58:16 GMT
