description To accelerate the data acquisition speed of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and improve the reconstructed MR images’ quality, we propose a parallel MRI reconstruction model (SPIRiT-Net), which combines the iterative self-consistent parallel imaging reconstruction model (SPIRiT) with the cascaded complex convolutional neural networks (CCNNs). More specifically, this model adopts the SPIRiT model for reconstruction in the k-space domain and the cascaded CCNNs with dense connection for reconstruction in the image domain. Meanwhile, this model introduces the data consistency layers for better reconstruction in both the image domain and the k-space domain. The experimental results on two clinical knee datasets as well as the fastMRI brain dataset under different undersampling patterns show that the SPIRiT-Net model achieves better reconstruction performance in terms of visual effect, peak signal-to-noise ratio, and structural similarity over SPIRiT, Deepcomplex, and DONet. It will be beneficial to the diagnosis of clinical medicine.
