Advances in the quality of images can be realized by reducing the single-shot spin-echo sequences and the fast spin-echo’s train length. Recent studies have hinted that parallel imaging is quite attractive for both vascular and cardiac applications and proves more valuable as a 3-T body. Recent studies have shown that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be devoted to increasing acquisition speed. It is worth noting. Therefore, those impressive gains have been realized to make MRI more effective in its application.&nbsp. This paper seeks to provide an overview of fundamental parallel imaging concepts while illustrating potential clinical applications. In this paper, the merits, demerits of parallel imaging and the comparison between SENSE and GRAPPA as similar imaging techniques would be emphasized.

ADVANTAGES OF PARALLEL IMAGING IN EPI:

Since the 1990s, parallel MRI acquisition techniques have increasingly become powerful imaging methods with a characteristic faster acquisition process (Bammer & Schoenberg, 2004).&nbsp. It is noted that it has found many applications due to attributed advantages. In this case, the Parallel Imaging is often used to reduce the scanning time, hence improving spatial resolution in some of the magnetic Resonance Imaging applications (Bammer, R., Schoenberg, 2004). Notably, the parallel imaging demands that data be acquired simultaneously and independently using multi-receiver coils with the coils maintaining spatial profiles that differ (Barkhausen, 2004).&nbsp. Moreover, it has the advantage of not altering the contrast behavior of the imaging sequence underneath (Boesiger, 2002). Described as one with the ability to decrease the time required to perform the image sequence, it increases the resolution provided there is a specific time measured or performed the complete osier, 2002). For instance, in cases where a patient experiences acquisition time exceeding his/her breath-hold capacity, Thrale imaging can help address this issue by reducing the patient acquisition time by factor 2 or even more significant Figure 01.
