Abstract:
A method includes the acts of acquiring a blade of k-space calibration data; acquiring a set of T-weighted k-space imaging data, the set of T-weighted k-space imaging data having blades of undersampled k-space data rotated about a section of k-space. Each blade of undersampled k-space data includes first data points having acquired data and second data points that are missing data. The method also includes generating a set of reconstruction weights for the blades of undersampled k-space data using the blade of k-space calibration data; synthesizing k-space data for at least a portion of the second data points using the set of reconstruction weights; and generating a T-weighted image using the T-weighted k-space imaging data and the synthesized k-space data.
