Undersampled non-Cartesian trajectories permit high acceleration factors for real-time acquisitions with parallel imaging. Thus, accurate and efficient calibration schemes for such methods are important. Recently, a well-established parallel imaging technique GRAPPA, originally proposed for Cartesian trajectories, has been successfully extended to non-Cartesian imaging. This was enabled via an improved calibration formalism that extends the calibration to the time dimension (through-time calibration), and can be implemented for rapid imaging. The current study aims reducing the number of calibration frames required, thereby speeding up the real-time reconstructions significantly. A new calibration method that includes compression of the GRAPPA weights is proposed.
