To mitigate the challenge of reconstructing MRI data deteriorated by concomitant fields, we develop a hybrid space-frequency (x-f) domain method to i) accurately describe the dynamics of spatially encoded magnetization allowing arbitrary directions of initial magnetization and phase/frequency encoding magnetic fields, and (ii) reconstructed images using combined fast Fourier transform and a linear equation solver. We demonstrate this method in ultra-low-field MRI reconstruction when the largest concomitant field is as strong as B0.
