ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for producing an image of a region of interest using a Magnet Resonance Imaging (MRI) system comprises the steps of acquiring a plurality of under-sampled MR data sets from a plurality of radiofrequency (RF) coils forming an array and combining the plurality of under-sampled MR data sets to produce the image. Each of the RF coils has a non-uniform sensitivity.
