For GRAPPA reconstruction, large kernel sizes can be disadvantageous in some cases due to the large number of GRAPPA coefficients. A system like this needs a large number of equations to construct an over-determined system. Small kernel sizes can be advantageous when there is a small number of equations. Proposed algorithm employs a small kernel size and a clustering method to produce more than one set of GRAPPA weights within a slice.
