Abstract

Both compressed sensing (CS) and parallel imaging (PI) can be used to accelerate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by under-sampling the k space data. Several methods combining CS and PI have been proposed to further improve the scanning speed. In this paper, we proposed a new approach to combine CS and PI. We used GRAPPA (Generalized Autocalibrating Partially Parallel Acquisitions) algorithm to reconstruct local under-sampled k space data, and CS to reconstruct the whole k space data for each coil. In the CS reconstruction step, we constrained that the reconstructed k space data should be assimilated to both the sampled k space data and the reconstructed k space data by GRAPPA. In addition, we designed a new sampling strategy to improve the quality of image reconstruction. In vivo imaging results demonstrated that the proposed approach could effectively remove artifacts and improve the image quality.
