High resolution imaging has an important role to play in the detection of malformations of cortical development, and can dramatically improve the prospect of a surgical cure in epilepsy, or in the detection of brain lesions. We propose a novel, unified reconstruction strategy that overcomes prior limitations and show that the strategy can be applied to imaging the stria of Gennari in vivo in a reasonable amount of time on a conventional 3T magnet. Our proposed technology enables image reconstruction from inter-session and intra-session k-space data, that overcomes intra-session and inter-session phase variation to enable arbitrarily high SNR imaging.
