A method for estimating the coil sensitivity maps from the surface images in parallel imaging

摘要：

Derived from the individual surface coil images, anew method based on anisotropic diffusion for estimating the coilsensitivity is proposed in this paper. When the coil sensitivitymaps estimated by this method are applied to reconstruct themagnetic resonance image from the under-sampled images byparallel imaging reconstruction Sensitivity Encoding method, thequality of the reconstructed image is improved. As a result,without using the body coil for additional reference scans, theproposed method is valuable for determining the coil sensitivitymaps alone from the surface coil images.
