ABSTRACT:
A method for generating a magnetic resonance (MR) image includes acquiring calibration data from each of a plurality of RF source coils. Calibration data for a virtual coil is generated based on the calibration data from the plurality of RF source coils and a set of synthesis weights is generated based on the calibration data from the plurality of RF source coils and the calibration data for the virtual coil. Accelerated MR data is acquired from each of the plurality of RF source coils. An image can be reconstructed based on an application of the set of synthesis weights to the accelerated MR data from the plurality of RF source coils.
