✦ Synopsis
Sensitivity encoding (SENSE) is a magnetic resonance technique that unifies gradient and receive coil encoding. SENSE reconstructs the image by solving a large, ill-conditioned inverse problem, which generally requires regularization and preconditioning. The present study suggests a simple heuristic for determining the regularization parameter. Also discussed are the use of density weighting and intensity correction as preconditioners and the role that coil sensitivity estimation has in regularization. A modification to the intensity correction is proposed for use with a phase constraint.

## Abstract SENSE reconstruction suffers from an ill‐conditioning problem, which increasingly lowers the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) as the reduction factor increases. Ill‐conditioning also degrades the convergence behavior of iterative conjugate gradient reconstructions for arbitrary trajectories.
## Abstract Parallel imaging reconstruction has been successfully applied to magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) to reduce scan times. For undersampled k‐space data on a Cartesian grid, the reconstruction can be achieved in image domain using a sensitivity encoding (SENSE) algorithm for
## Abstract Spiral, radial, and other nonrectilinear __k‐__space trajectories are an area of active research in MRI due largely to their typically rapid acquisition times and benign artifact patterns. Trajectory design has commonly proceeded from a description of a simple shape to an investigation
## Abstract The k‐space trajectory of a spiral imaging sequence was measured with a self‐encoding technique. The image quality improved dramatically when reconstructed with the measured k‐space trajectory. There were substantial artifacts in images reconstructed with the derived k‐space trajectory
