Parallel imaging concepts, such as sensitivity encoding (SENSE), have been incorporated into DL reconstruction frameworks by augmenting the acquisition model with knowledge of the coil sensitivities. However, SENSE-based methods rely on accurate estimation of sensitivity maps; otherwise, residual aliasing may arise due to model errors such as in reduced field-of-view imaging. Here we propose DL-ESPIRiT, an ESPIRiT-based neural network architecture with improved robustness to model errors. We show that DL-ESPIRiT can reconstruct 10X accelerated 2D cardiac CINE data with higher fidelity and allow for more accurate automatic assessment of cardiovascular function than l₁-ESPIRiT.
