摘要

This manuscript presents a novel combination of technologies that yield images of improved quality for accelerated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Two established methods for accelerating MRI include parallel imaging and compressed sensing. Two types of parallel imaging include linear predictability, which assumes that the Fourier samples are linearly related, and sensitivity encoding, which incorporates a priori knowledge of the sensitivity maps. In this work, we combine compressed sensing with both types of parallel imaging using a novel regularization term: SPIRiT regularization. For a given number of samples, the images reconstructed with SPIRiT regularization are improved over those reconstructed without it. We demonstrate these improvements on data of a knee, a brain, and an ankle.
