Novel Structured Low-rank algorithm to recover spatially smooth exponential image time series
We propose a structured low rank matrix completion algorithm to recover a
time series of images consisting of linear combination of exponential
parameters at every pixel, from under-sampled Fourier measurements. The spatial
smoothness of these parameters is exploited along with the exponential
structure of the time series at every pixel, to derive an annihilation relation
in the domain. This annihilation relation translates into a structured
low rank matrix formed from the samples. We demonstrate the algorithm in
the parameter mapping setting and show significant improvement over state of
the art methods.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, accepted at ISBI 2017, Melbourne, Australi
A Deep Cascade of Convolutional Neural Networks for MR Image Reconstruction
The acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is inherently slow.
Inspired by recent advances in deep learning, we propose a framework for
reconstructing MR images from undersampled data using a deep cascade of
convolutional neural networks to accelerate the data acquisition process. We
show that for Cartesian undersampling of 2D cardiac MR images, the proposed
method outperforms the state-of-the-art compressed sensing approaches, such as
dictionary learning-based MRI (DLMRI) reconstruction, in terms of
reconstruction error, perceptual quality and reconstruction speed for both
3-fold and 6-fold undersampling. Compared to DLMRI, the error produced by the
method proposed is approximately twice as small, allowing to preserve
anatomical structures more faithfully. Using our method, each image can be
reconstructed in 23 ms, which is fast enough to enable real-time applications
