Abstract
In a rapid auto-calibrated partially parallel reconstruction method, the unaliasing process is approached by convolution. The image combination is performed on a low-resolution image matrix before unaliasing, and the unaliasing process is effectively performed once for a single synthetic target coil instead of for each individual coil.
