Images from accelerated acquisition and ESPIRiT reconstruction show inhomogeneous intensity from the original array coil sensitivity distributions, because of the arbitrarily scaled sensitivity (eigenvector) maps. We propose to use the corresponding eigenvalues to restore the proper relative sensitivity scaling in the maps as a method of intensity bias correction, to help better visualization of the anatomies.
