A deep neural network for reconstruction of SMS data without the need of additional reference data to calibrate for the spatial encoding information of the multi-coil receiver is presented. Noise-propagation through the reconstruction process is investigated in form of g-factors. Simulations with pseudo-multiple replicas showed robustness and stability of this new method. In addition, the sensitivity for physiological signal variations of this approach is considered in BOLD-signal dynamics. Results are compared to conventional methods like split slice-GRAPPA.
