## Abstract Hyperpolarized (HP) gas imaging of the lungs is an ideal potential application for parallel imaging. This is due to the fact that there is limited scan time (breath hold of 20 s) and limited non‐renewable polarization. Reduced phase encode parallel imaging is demanding on hardware in th
