Joint k-space and image-space reconstruction imaging method and device

Abstract

A joint k-space and image-space reconstruction imaging method and a device, relating to the field of magnetic resonance imaging. The method comprises: first, using the k-space parallel imaging method to reconstruct under-sampled image frames having auto-calibration signals of a subject obtained from multi-frame imaging required for the measurement of magnetic resonance parameters; and then performing reconstruction in image space for other under-sampled image frame data without auto-calibration signals. In the method, an accurate sensitivity map required for the SENSE method is generated from under-sampled data, without the need of additional acquisition. By means of the present method, images that are almost identical to those obtained by the traditional GRAPPA method and without obvious artifacts can be obtained at a speed which is four times faster than that by the traditional GRAPPA method. The present method is especially suitable for accelerating three-dimensional (3D) multi-frame magnetic resonance imaging.
