Noise amplification in parallel imaging. The additional noise penalty as expressed by the geometry factor is shown. For 2D imaging the critical reduction factor is between 3–4. In 3D imaging with comparable dimensions and reduction factors along the two phase-encode axes the critical reduction factor is about 16.
