چکیده

PURPOSE To propose and evaluate P-LORAKS a new calibrationless parallel imaging reconstruction framework. THEORY AND METHODS LORAKS is a flexible and powerful framework that was recently proposed for constrained MRI reconstruction. LORAKS was based on the observation that certain matrices constructed from fully sampled k-space data should have low rank whenever the image has limited support or smooth phase, and made it possible to accurately reconstruct images from undersampled or noisy data using low-rank regularization. This paper introduces P-LORAKS, which extends LORAKS to the context of parallel imaging. This is achieved by combining the LORAKS matrices from different channels to yield a larger but more parsimonious low-rank matrix model of parallel imaging data. This new model can be used to regularize the reconstruction of undersampled parallel imaging data, and implicitly imposes phase, support, and parallel imaging constraints without needing to calibrate phase, support, or sensitivity profiles. RESULTS The capabilities of P-LORAKS are evaluated with retrospectively undersampled data and compared against existing parallel MRI reconstruction methods. Results show that P-LORAKS can improve parallel imaging reconstruction quality, and can enable the use of new k-space trajectories that are not compatible with existing reconstruction methods. CONCLUSION The P-LORAKS framewok provides a new and effective way to regularize parallel imaging reconstruction.

Ac-loraks: Autocalibrated Low-rank Modeling of Local K-space Neighborhoods

Introduction: Low-rank modeling of local k-space neighborhoods (LORAKS) is a recent constrained MRI framework that can enable accurate image reconstruction from sparselyand unconventionally-sampled k-space data [1,2]. Specifically, Ref. [1] showed that the k-space data for MR images that have limited spatial support or slowly-varying image phase can be mapped into structured low-rank matrices, ...

Low-Rank Modeling of Local $k$-Space Neighborhoods (LORAKS) for Constrained MRI

Recent theoretical results on low-rank matrix reconstruction have inspired significant interest in low-rank modeling of MRI images. Existing approaches have focused on higher-dimensional scenarios with data available from multiple channels, timepoints, or image contrasts. The present work demonstrates that single-channel, single-contrast, single-timepoint k-space data can also be mapped to low-...

Simultaneous Multi-slice MRI Reconstruction using LORAKS

Introduction The combination of simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) acquisition with parallel imaging enables highly-accelerated MRI experiments [1,2]. However, most existing methods use highly structured k-space sampling, and require either prior knowledge of the coil sensitivity maps [1,2] or autocalibration data [3]. In this work, we propose a constrained reconstruction framework that works with ...

Improving parallel imaging by jointly reconstructing multi-contrast data.

PURPOSE To develop parallel imaging techniques that simultaneously exploit coil sensitivity encoding, image phase prior information, similarities across multiple images, and complementary k-space sampling for highly accelerated data acquisition. METHODS We introduce joint virtual coil (JVC)-generalized autocalibrating partially parallel acquisitions (GRAPPA) to jointly reconstruct data acquir...
