Video Compressive Sensing for Dynamic MRI
We present a video compressive sensing framework, termed kt-CSLDS, to
accelerate the image acquisition process of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI). We are inspired by a state-of-the-art model for video compressive
sensing that utilizes a linear dynamical system (LDS) to model the motion
manifold. Given compressive measurements, the state sequence of an LDS can be
first estimated using system identification techniques. We then reconstruct the
observation matrix using a joint structured sparsity assumption. In particular,
we minimize an objective function with a mixture of wavelet sparsity and joint
sparsity within the observation matrix. We derive an efficient convex
optimization algorithm through alternating direction method of multipliers
(ADMM), and provide a theoretical guarantee for global convergence. We
demonstrate the performance of our approach for video compressive sensing, in
terms of reconstruction accuracy. We also investigate the impact of various
sampling strategies. We apply this framework to accelerate the acquisition
process of dynamic MRI and show it achieves the best reconstruction accuracy
with the least computational time compared with existing algorithms in the
literature.Comment: 30 pages, 9 figure
Accelerated Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging Using Joint Low-Rank and Sparsity Constraints
Objective: The purpose of this manuscript is to accelerate cardiac diffusion
tensor imaging (CDTI) by integrating low-rankness and compressed sensing.
Methods: Diffusion-weighted images exhibit both transform sparsity and
low-rankness. These properties can jointly be exploited to accelerate CDTI,
especially when a phase map is applied to correct for the phase inconsistency
across diffusion directions, thereby enhancing low-rankness. The proposed
method is evaluated both ex vivo and in vivo, and is compared to methods using
either a low-rank or sparsity constraint alone. Results: Compared to using a
low-rank or sparsity constraint alone, the proposed method preserves more
accurate helix angle features, the transmural continuum across the myocardium
wall, and mean diffusivity at higher acceleration, while yielding significantly
lower bias and higher intraclass correlation coefficient. Conclusion:
Low-rankness and compressed sensing together facilitate acceleration for both
ex vivo and in vivo CDTI, improving reconstruction accuracy compared to
employing either constraint alone. Significance: Compared to previous methods
for accelerating CDTI, the proposed method has the potential to reach higher
acceleration while preserving myofiber architecture features which may allow
more spatial coverage, higher spatial resolution and shorter temporal footprint
in the future.Comment: 11 pages, 16 figures, published on IEEE Transactions on Biomedical
