Abstract

An imaging method for an MRI system includes identifying a low signal region within a scanning volume. An overlap calculation of the scanning volume is generated. The low signal region is substantially eliminated from the overlap calculation thereby generating an adjusted overlap structure. A SENSE calculation is generated in response to the adjusted overlap structure.
