  • Patent number: 11828824
    Abstract: Image reconstruction systems and methods include providing sensitivity maps for coils of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system to a neural network. The systems and methods also include providing interleaved k-space data to the neural network, wherein the interleaved k-space data includes partial k-space data interleaved with zeros, or synthesized k-space data, to provide an extended field of view (FOV) different from a FOV utilized during acquisition of the partial k-space data, wherein the partial k-space data were obtained during a scan of a region of interest with the MRI system. The systems and methods further include outputting, from the neural network, a final reconstructed MR image based at least on the sensitivity maps and the interleaved k-space data, wherein the final reconstructed MR image includes the FOV utilized during the acquisition of the partial k-space data.
