Detailed Documentation

The simple SENSE (SENSitivity Encoding) image reconstruction method enables reconstruction of final images through inverse Fourier transform operations. SENSE is an accelerated magnetic resonance imaging technique that utilizes multiple receiver coils and parallel imaging principles to significantly improve image acquisition speed. During the reconstruction process, we apply inverse Fourier transform to convert the acquired k-space data into spatial domain image signals. This transformation can be implemented using functions like ifft() or ifft2() in programming languages such as MATLAB, where the inverse Fourier operation reconstructs the image matrix from the underlying frequency domain data. The algorithm essentially solves the parallel imaging equation by combining coil sensitivity information with undersampled data, ultimately producing the desired final image with reduced artifacts from accelerated acquisition.
