Rectangular Field of View
 
(RFOV) A different field of view (the scanned region) in the frequency and phase encoding directions that means the data acquisition with fewer measurement lines. Because there are fewer rows than columns, a rectangular image is obtained. To reduce the FOV in phase encoding direction (foldover direction) saves scan time by decreasing signal but invariable spatial resolution.
Also called HFI or undersampling.

If the scanned object is oval, e.g. head or abdomen, a rectangular FOV is an easy to use scan parameter to reduce the scan time without loss of resolution.

Field of View
 
(FOV) Defined as the size of the two or three dimensional spatial encoding area of the image. Usually defined in units of mm². The FOV is the square image area that contains the object of interest to be measured. The smaller the FOV, the higher the resolution and the smaller the voxel size but the lower the measured signal. Useful for decreasing the scantime is a field of view different in the frequency and phase encoding directions (rectangular field of view - RFOV).
The magnetic field homogeneity decreases as more tissue is imaged (greater FOV). As a result the precessional frequencies change across the imaging volume. That can be a problem for fat suppression imaging. This fat is precessing at the expected frequency only in the center of the imaging volume. E.g. frequency specific fat saturation pulses become less effective when the field of view is increased. It is best to use smaller field of views when applying fat saturation pulses.

Smaller FOV required higher gradient strength and concludes low signal. Therefore you have to find a compromise between these factors. The right choice of the field of view is important for MR image quality. When utilizing small field of views and scanning at a distance from the isocenter (more problems with artifacts) it is obviously important to ensure that the region of interest is within the scanning volume.
A smaller FOV in one direction is available with the function rectangular field of view (RFOV).
