Claim One:
1. A method for sparse iterative phase correction for Magnetic Resonance (MR) partial Fourier reconstruction, the method comprising: acquiring a partial Fourier k-space dataset using an MR scanner; estimating, by a control computer, a coil sensitivity map associated with the MR scanner from fully sampled k-space center; extracting, by the control computer, a symmetrically sampled k-space center dataset from the partial Fourier k-space dataset; determining, by the control computer, a low-resolution image based on the symmetrically sampled k-space center dataset and the coil sensitivity map; determining, by the control computer, phase corresponding to the low-resolution image; and applying, by the control computer, an iterative reconstruction process to generate an image based on the partial Fourier k-space dataset, wherein the iterative reconstruction process applies a Fast Iterative Shrinkage Thresholding Algorithm (FISTA) with phase correction based on the phase corresponding to the low-resolution image.
