In Dynamic Parallel Magnetic Resonance Imaging (pMRI) there are many reconstruction methods aiming to speed up acquisition and accurate reconstructions with high temporal and spatial resolution. It has been demonstrated that comparing to conventional k-t SENSE approach, Auto-Calibrating k-t SENSE saves acquisition time. Even though Auto-Calibrating k-t SENSE has been compared to conventional k-t SENSE, the comparison of the filter performing by both of them has not been jet evaluated. In this work, the performance in the temporal frequency of conventional and Auto-Calibrating k-t SENSE was evaluated using the 2-D Modulated Transfer Function (MTF).
