GRAPPA
T2w TIRM for metastases screening, GRAPPA, PAT 3 (2:00 min per step 6 mm, 5 steps)

GRAPPA
VRT of a dynamic MRA, GRAPPA 3 (resolution 1.5 x 1.0 x 1.5 mm3, 2.5 s / frame)

GRAPPA
Whole-body MRA in 48 seconds, GRAPPA x3 (1.3 x 1.0 x 1.3 mm resolution, 4 steps at 12 s / step)
GRAPPA is a Parallel Imaging Technique, based on k-space which can be used to shorten the acquisition time or increase the spatial resolution in the same examination time.
Clinical Applications
- Faster neuro imaging (Spine, head…)
- Cardiac imaging with high temporal and spatial resolution
- Fast dynamic contrast enhanced MR Angiography
- Abdominal Imaging with shorter breath-hold times
- Fast, high resolution orthopedic imaging
- Fast whole-body imaging
