Parallel Imaging (PI) has been widely used for MR
imaging acceleration in clinical applications. However,
current subspace based PI methods may not provide
accurate reconstruction when it comes to spatially
variant correlations due to the varying signal-to-noise
characteristics. In this work, we developed a
Self-supporting Tailored k-space Estimation for Parallel
imaging reconstruction (STEP) technique to further
improve the subspace PI reconstruction and the proposed
algorithm has demonstrated its performance of reduced
noise amplification, less aliasing artifacts and better
structure preservation when compared to the existing PI
algorithms.
