Sensitivity encoding is used to improve the performance of real‐time MRI. The encoding efficiency of single‐shot and segmented echo‐planar imaging is tripled by means of a 6‐element receiver coil array. The feasibility of this approach is verified for double oblique cardiac real‐time imaging of huma...
