Cover Imaging for Physicists

94 / 1116

‘3D’ MRI
• True 3D volume rather than multiple 2D slices
• A slab or multiple-slabs are selected
• Phase encoding also in the ‘slice’ dimension
Through-plane resolution can be comparable to in-
plane
Phase wrap in ‘slice’ direction
• SNR is improved, scan time longer
