Abstract

In a medical imaging auto-calibrated reconstruction method, an imaging scan is performed using a data acquisition scanner to generate image data, calibration data having a uniform sampling is determined, a point-spread function is determined based on the calibration data, and an image is reconstructed from the image data based on the point-spread function. A central region of k-space may have uniform sampling. The calibration data may be determined by extracting a uniformly-sampled central region of k-space from the image data. An outer region of k-space may have non-uniform sampling. A calibration scan may be performed to generate the calibration data.
