To combine the specific advantages of the generalized autocalibrating partially parallel acquisitions (GRAPPA) technique and sensitivity encoding (SENSE) with two-dimensional (2D) undersampling.
By splitting the 2D reconstruction process into multiple one-dimensional (1D) reconstructions, the normal 1D GRAPPA method can be used for image reconstruction. Due to this data-handling process, a GRAPPA reconstruction is performed along the phase-encoding (PE) direction and effectively a SENSE reconstruction is performed along the partition-encoding (PAE) direction.
In vivo experiments demonstrate the successful implementation of the SENSE/GRAPPA combination. Experimental results with up to 9.6-fold acceleration using a prototype 32-channel receiver head coil array are presented.
The proposed SENSE/GRAPPA combination for 3D imaging allows the GRAPPA method to be applied in combination with 2D undersampling. Because the SENSE/GRAPPA combination is not based on knowledge of spatial coil sensitivities, it should be the method of choice whenever it is difficult to extract the sensitivity information.
将广义自校准部分并行采集（GRAPPA）技术和灵敏度编码（SENSE）的特定优势与二维（2D）欠采样相结合。
通过将二维重建过程拆分为多个一维（1D）重建，可使用常规的一维GRAPPA方法进行图像重建。由于这种数据处理过程，GRAPPA重建沿相位编码（PE）方向进行，而实际上SENSE重建沿分区编码（PAE）方向进行。
体内实验证明了SENSE/GRAPPA组合的成功实施。展示了使用原型32通道接收头线圈阵列实现高达9.6倍加速的实验结果。
所提出的用于三维成像的SENSE/GRAPPA组合允许GRAPPA方法与二维欠采样结合应用。由于SENSE/GRAPPA组合不基于空间线圈灵敏度知识，因此在难以提取灵敏度信息时，它应是首选方法。
