Synopsis

RAKI is recently proposed as a deep learning version of GRAPPA, which trains on auto-calibration signal (ACS) to estimate the missing k-space data. However, RAKI requires a larger amount of ACS for training and reconstruction due to its multiple convolutions which resulting in lower effective acceleration. In this study, we propose to incorporate the virtual conjugate coil and enhanced non-linearity into the RAKI framework to improve the noise resilience and artifact removal at high effective acceleration. The results demonstrate that such strategy is effective and robust at high effective acceleration and in presence of pathological anomaly.
