Abstract: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a widely used imaging modality for clinical diagnostics and the planning of surgical interventions. Accelerated MRI seeks to mitigate the inherent limitation of long scanning time by reducing the amount of raw $k$-space data required for image reconstruction. Recently, the deep unrolled model (DUM) has demonstrated significant effectiveness and improved interpretability for MRI reconstruction, by truncating and unrolling the conventional iterative reconstruction algorithms with deep neural networks. However, the potential of DUM for MRI reconstruction has not been fully exploited. In this paper, we first enhance the gradient and information flow within and across iteration stages of DUM, then we highlight the importance of using various adjacent information for accurate and memory-efficient sensitivity map estimation and improved multi-coil MRI reconstruction. Extensive experiments on several public MRI reconstruction datasets show that our method outperforms existing MRI reconstruction methods by a large margin. The code will be released publicly.
