For the reconstruction of 3D MRI data that are accelerated along the two phase-encoding directions, the 2D-generalized autocalibrating partially parallel acquisitions (GRAPPA) algorithm can be used to estimate the missing data in the k-space. We propose a new boomerang-shaped kernel based on theoretic and systemic analyses of the shape and dimensions of the kernel. The reconstruction efficiency of the 2D-GRAPPA algorithm with the proposed boomerang-shaped kernel (i.e., boomerang kernel (BK)-2D-GRAPPA) was compared with other 2D-GRAPPA algorithms that utilize different types of kernels (i.e., EX-2D-GRAPPA and SK-2D-GRAPPA) based on computer simulation, phantom and in vivo experiments. The proposed method was validated for different sets of ACS lines with acceleration factors from four to eight and various sizes of the kernels. A quantitative analysis was also performed by comparing the normalized root mean squared error (nRMSE) in the images and the undersampled edges. Computer simulation, in vivo and phantom experiments, and the quantitative analysis, showed that the proposed method could reduce aliasing artifacts without reducing the SNRs of the reconstructed images.

Purpose: To propose a novel 3D k-space Fourier encoding and reconstruction framework for simultaneous multi-slab (SMSlab) acquisition and demonstrate its efficacy in high-resolution imaging.
Methods: First, it is illustrated in theory how the inter-slab gap interferes with the formation of the SMSlab 3D k-space. Then, joint RF and gradient encoding are applied to remove the inter-slab gap interference and form a SMSlab 3D k-space.

Purpose: To compare a new parallel imaging (PI) method for multislice proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging ( H-MRSI), termed (2 + 1)D-CAIPIRINHA, with two standard PI methods: 2D-GRAPPA and 2D-CAIPIRINHA at 7 Tesla (T).
Methods: (2 + 1)D-CAIPIRINHA is a combination of 2D-CAIPIRINHA and slice-CAIPIRINHA. Eight healthy volunteers were measured on a 7T MR scanner using a 32-channel head coil.

This work presents a new approach for high-resolution MRSI of the brain at 7 T in clinically feasible measurement times. Two major problems of MRSI are the long scan times for large matrix sizes and the possible spectral contamination by the transcranial lipid signal. We propose a combination of free induction decay (FID)-MRSI with a short acquisition delay and acceleration via in-plane two-dimensional generalised autocalibrating partially parallel acquisition (2D-GRAPPA) with adiabatic double inversion recovery (IR)-based lipid suppression to allow robust high-resolution MRSI.

The k-space readout of propeller-type sequences may be accelerated by the use of parallel imaging (PI). For PROPELLER, the main benefits are reduced blurring due to T(2) decay and specific absorption ratio (SAR) reduction, whereas, for EPI-based propeller acquisitions, such as Turbo-PROP and short-axis readout propeller EPI (SAP-EPI), the faster k-space traversal alleviates geometric distortions. In this work, the feasibility of calculating a two-dimensional (2D) GRAPPA kernel on only the undersampled propeller blades themselves is explored, using the matching orthogonal undersampled blade.
