A novel data acquisition method using cross sampling and image reconstruction method nonlinear GRAPPA are integrated to improve the image quality of GRAPPA at high accelerations. Cross sampling is used to acquire the ACS lines, and a nonlinear model is used in reconstruction of the missing k-space data. The integrated method brings together the benefit of cross-sampled GRAPPA in ACS reduction and the benefit of nonlinear GRAPPA in noise suppression. Results from in vivo experiments demonstrate the proposed method is able to reduce the aliasing artifacts in GRAPPA without compromising SNR when a high net reduction factor is used.
