    摘要: A system and method for parallel imaging is disclosed that generates linear combination coefficient weights by solving systems of linear equations formulated with correlation values. An MRI apparatus includes a computer programmed to acquire MR data from an imaging volume for a plurality of encoding locations using an array of RF receiver coils. Correlation values are calculated from the MR data. From these calculated correlation values, synthesis weights are generated. An image is then reconstructed based on an application of the synthesis weights to at least a portion of the MR data acquired from the array of RF receiver coils.

    摘要: A system and method for MR imaging includes the use of a form of autocalibrated parallel imaging. By combining a segmented, rotated acquisition trajectory with autocalibration parallel imaging (API), the system and method can achieve improved motion insensitivity while maintaining the benefits of accelerated acquisition due to parallel imaging. In various embodiments, calibration values from a set of reference data or from another set of imaging data can be used in determining reconstruction weights for a given k-space data set. Thus, separate calibration data need not necessarily be acquired for each set of imaging data.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system and method for parallel imaging that performs auto-calibrating reconstructions with a 2D (for 2D imaging) or 3D kernel (for 3D imaging) that exploits the computational efficiencies available when operating in certain data “domains” or “spaces”. The reconstruction process of multi-coil data is separated into a “training phase” and an “application phase” in which reconstruction weights are applied to acquired data to synthesize (replace) missing data. The choice of data space, i.e., k-space, hybrid space, or image space, in which each step occurs is independently optimized to reduce total reconstruction time for a given imaging application. As such, the invention retains the image quality benefits of using a 2D k-space kernel without the computational burden of applying a 2D k-space convolution kernel.
