Three-dimensional cine imaging using variable-density spiral trajectories and SSFP with application to coronary artery angiography.

abstract：:Multiple images acquired simultaneously from an array of surface coils can be combined to give a composite image with an improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and a large field of view. The composite images' SNR can be optimized by taking advantage of noise correlations between coils and phase shifts induced by surface...
