along the axes of primary clinical interest application_number US 51898304 A description fig1 shows a diagram explaining several terms used for describing the invention therein a two dimensional cartesian grid is shown which grid is arranged in the z y direction the z direction can be regarded as the slice selection direction and the y direction can be regarded as the phase encoding direction the known method makes use of sensitivity encoding and takes advantage of under sampling or reduction of k space samples and known individual coil sensitivity profiles the field of view fov 1 is thus reduced in both dimensions a pixel 3 in the reduced fov 2 represents the superposition of pixels forming a cartesian grid in the example shown in fig1 four of these pixels are in the full fov 1 thus the actual degree of aliasing is four aliased pixels are created thereby in the individual coil restructured images which can however be unfolded by making use of the different sensitivity profiles of each coil there are a few constraints on this reduction of k space samples using sense and subsequent effective unfolding of the image can only be achieved in the direction of multiple receiver coils i e in the reduction direction the sense reconstruction algorithm will unfold the image aliasing or foldover artefacts are thus created in.
