Abstract
Described here are systems and methods for producing images of a subject using magnetic resonance imaging ('MRI') in which data are acquired using a sparse approximate encoding scheme for controlled aliasing techniques. As one example, the sparse approximate encoding can be used for a Wave-CAIPI encoding scheme, which can enable faster image reconstruction using fewer computational resources, in addition to reducing noise in the reconstructed images relative to those reconstructed from data acquired using a Wave-CAIPI encoding scheme without sparse approximate encoding.
