Abstract
Conjugation can be used to synthesize half of the data acquired during a conventional two-dimensional Fourier transform imaging procedure, thus reducing time by nearly half. The images acquired by this process have the same object contrast and spatial resolution as conventional images do, but with a 40% reduction in the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). Conjugation can be used to advantage in magnetic resonance imaging units in which S/N levels are higher than needed to permit imaging with a single acquisition of each projection.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
