Parallel Imaging

Parallel Imaging EDITORIAL (Part I) Roland Bammer, Ph.D. his issue on parallel imaging brings together theoretical and clinical insights from Texperts in the field of parallel MRI and clinical users. During the last few years, parallel MRI has clearly lead to a quantum leap in MRI that can only be compared with the in- troduction of multi-detector technology in CT. Examinations with scan times that were merely unthinkable a few years ago, belong now to the standard armamentarium of state-of-the art MR scanners. In addition to the speed gain, parallel imaging indirectly caused the resurrection of hibernating MR coil and receiver technology that has lead to further concurrent improvements in diagnostic imaging. While there is still consider- able development going on, parallel MRI has advanced to a powerful tool in diagnostic MRI and in many areas this technique is now ready for “prime-time”. The first issue of this two part collection of review articles will provide a theoretical introduction to parallel imaging and an overview of its usage in key diagnostic areas. The second issue will deal with the potential of this method for more advanced, quantitative MR techniques and high field MRI.
