Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has contributed significantly to modern cancer diagnosis and treatment planning because of its noninvasive nature, versatile image contrast, and high spatiotemporal resolution. For decades, the quest for higher sensitivity and greater spatial and/or temporal resolution has been approached by means of increasing major field strengths, enhancing gradient performance, and improving radio frequency (RF) technology. In this chapter, we present recent MRI advances that use an RF coil array to achieve “­parallel” data acquisition for higher spatiotemporal resolution.
