Combination of MR surface coil images using weighted constrained least squares [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
For most MR imaging applications multiple surface coils are used to obtain images with high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). However, signal intensity strongly diminishes with distance. Although there are a number of approaches to combine the surface coil images to obtain a high SNR and bias-free image, most of them are developed in an ad hoc manner and lack a systematic treatment. In this work we propose a new approach, an iterative weighted constrained least squares (WCLS) restoration method, for combining surface coil images. The algorithm is fully automated and outperforms approaches which appeared in the literature. © 2008 IEEE.
