We introduce a novel objective function for automatic deblurring of images acquired with non-2DFT trajectories. When paired with the recently introduced retraced, spiral-in-out trajectory, this objective function provides two advantages over previously established functions: it is invariant with incidental phase and is less susceptible to spurious extrema. These advantages lead to effective deblurring over a larger range of off resonance conditions and readout durations. Here, using simulations and phantom studies, we compare the sensitivity of this objective function to spurious extrema to a previously proposed function.
