Several parallel imaging reconstruction algorithms have been proposed for simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) imaging, yet a thorough comparison of the algorithms still awaits investigation. In this study, the performance of four reconstruction algorithms are compared. Relative root-mean-squared error, g-factor, signal leakage, and reconstruction time are used as metrics for evaluating the performance. This work may provide a reference for the SMS community to choose from different reconstruction algorithms.
