D. With an increase in overall SNR
E. With a reduced overall scan time
F. B, C and E only
G. A, D and E only - A, D and E only
Reducing the number of lines filled in k-space reduces the number of
phase encoding steps, resulting in shorter scan time, an increase in
overall SNR, but a decrease in spatial resolution.
