Abstract
PURPOSE: State-of-the-art whole-brain MRSI with spatial-spectral encoding and multichannel acquisition generates huge amounts of data, which must be efficiently processed to stay within reasonable reconstruction times. Although coil combination significantly reduces the amount of data, currently it is performed in image space at the end of the reconstruction. This prolongs reconstruction times and increases RAM requirements. We propose an alternative k-space-based coil combination that uses geometric deep learning to combine MRSI data already in native non-Cartesian k-space.
