  Deep learning based parallel imaging (PI) has made great progresses in recent
years to accelerate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Nevertheless, it still
has some limitations, such as the robustness and flexibility of existing
methods have great deficiency. In this work, we propose a method to explore the
k-space domain learning via robust generative modeling for flexible
calibration-less PI reconstruction, coined weight-k-space generative model
(WKGM). Specifically, WKGM is a generalized k-space domain model, where the
k-space weighting technology and high-dimensional space augmentation design are
efficiently incorporated for score-based generative model training, resulting
in good and robust reconstructions. In addition, WKGM is flexible and thus can
be synergistically combined with various traditional k-space PI models, which
can make full use of the correlation between multi-coil data and
realizecalibration-less PI. Even though our model was trained on only 500
images, experimental results with varying sampling patterns and acceleration
factors demonstrate that WKGM can attain state-of-the-art reconstruction
results with the well-learned k-space generative prior.
