The effect of reconstruction and acquisition parameters for GRAPPA-based parallel imaging on the image quality.

abstract：PURPOSE:Subendocardial dark-rim artifacts (DRAs) remain a major concern in first-pass perfusion (FPP) myocardial MRI and may lower the diagnostic accuracy for detection of ischemia. A major source of DRAs is the "Gibbs ringing" effect. We propose an optimized radial acquisition strategy aimed at eliminating ringing-ind...
