This work addresses three problems for in-plane SENSE-accelerated PROPELLER: generally amplified noise, increased artifact with narrow blades, and degraded motion correction with wide blades. We show that a novel reconstruction method - multi-step join-blade (MJB) SENSE can lead to higher SNR and less narrow-blade artifact than conventional SENSE reconstruction. In addition, k-space truncation is used to improve the motion correction robustness. We also show that additional iterations can enhance MJB SENSE. This new method can greatly benefit future SENSE PROPELLER studies with improved image quality.
