Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems and methods to effect accelerated MR image reconstruction for undersampled data acquisitions with radial strip acquisitions of k-space are described. The improved MR image reconstruction is performed by acquiring k-space data in accordance with a data acquisition pattern which comprises a plurality of strips leaving a plurality of undersampled areas therebetween that do not have another undersampled area in a diametrically opposed position of k-space. The acquired k-space data is then used to generate an MR image.
