Synopsis

Conventional ESPIRiT reconstruction requires accurate estimation of ESPIRiT maps from autocalibration samples or signals but acquiring such autocalibration signals takes time and may not be straightforward in some situations. This study aims to deploy deep learning to directly estimate ESPIRiT maps from uniformly undersampled multi-channel 2D MR data that contain no autocalibration signals. Results show that the estimated ESPIRiT maps could be reliably obtained and they could be used for ESPIRiT and SENSE reconstruction with high acceleration.
