A method for reconstructing dynamic MRI sequence, acquired via partial parallel imaging is proposed here. The novelty of the method is that it does not require explicit or implicit knowledge of the sensitivity maps. The method is compared against k-t BLAST and k-t GRAPPA - both of which the sensitivity profile in one form or the other. Our method is as good as k-t BLAST and better than k-t GRAPPA.
