Compressed sensing reconstruction requires many iterations to converge. This work developed an auto-calibrating parallel imaging method that can efficiently reconstruct coil-combined k-space data from random k-space sampling. Our preliminary results show that the proposed method can provide similar reconstruction accuracy with much faster computation compared to conventional auto-calibrating parallel imaging and can significantly improve the initial condition and convergence of compressed sensing reconstruction.
