  • Magnetic resonance image reconstruction for undersampled data acquisitions
    Patent number: 9846214
    Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems and methods to effect improved MR image reconstruction for undersampled data acquisitions are described. The improved MR image reconstruction is performed by iteratively using compressed sensing to reconstruct an MR image based upon at least one sensitivity map by minimizing a predetermined function which is based upon the MR image and coefficients of the at least one sensitivity map, and updating the at least one sensitivity map by minimizing the predetermined function.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 19, 2017
    Assignee: TOSHIBA MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATION
