Abstract
Systems and methods for reconstructing images using a hierarchically semiseparable ('HSS') solver to compactly represent the inverse encoding matrix used in the reconstruction are provided. The reconstruction method includes solving for the actual inverse of the encoding matrix using a direct (i.e., non-iterative) HSS solver. This approach is contrary to conventional reconstruction methods that repetitively evaluate forward models (e.g., compressed sensing or parallel imaging forward models).
