Abstract

The 3dimensional (3D) volume imaging in magnetic resonanceimaging (MRI) enables encoding in frequency, phaseand partition directions in k-space. To increase scan speed,subsampling of multiple-coil k-space data is applied. The imagereconstruction problem from subsampled 3D k-space datais non-convex due to the coupling between image and sensitivityprofile of coils. In this paper, it is shown that the magnitudeof 3D image is constrained in a convex hull and thus canbe solved by a two-step convex optimization procedure. Comparedwith other methods, this method directly processes 3Dk-space data without using sensitivity profile of coils. Phantomand in vivo data are used to test the proposed method,resulting in improved reconstructed image with lower meansquared error.
