ABSTRACT: The Sensitivity Encoding (SENSE) parallel reconstruction scheme for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is implemented with non-cartesian sampled k-space trajectories in this paper. SENSE has the special capability to reduce the scanning time for MRI experiments while maintaining the image resolution with under-sampling data sets. In this manner, it has become an increasingly popular technique for multiple MRI data acquisition and image reconstruction schemes. The gridding algorithm is also implemented with SENSE due to its ability in evaluating forward and adjoin operator with non-cartesian sampled data. In this paper, the sensitivity map profile, field map information and the spiral k-space data collected from an array of receiver coils are used to reconstruct unaliased images from under-sampled data. The performance of SENSE with real data set identifies the computational issues to be improved for researched.
