Acquisition of spatially-resolved displacement propagators using compressed sensing APGSTE-RARE MRI.
A method is presented for accelerating the acquisition of spatially-resolved displacement propagators via under-sampling of an Alternating Pulsed Gradient Stimulated Echo - Rapid Acquisition with Relaxation Enhancement (APGSTE-RARE) data acquisition with compressed sensing image reconstruction. The method was demonstrated with respect to the acquisition of 2D spatially-resolved displacement propagators of water flowing through a packed bed of hollow cylinders. The q,k-space was under-sampled according to variable-density pseudo-random sampling patterns. The quality of compressed sensing reconstructions of spatially-resolved propagators at a range of sampling fractions was assessed using the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) as a quality metric. Propagators of good quality (PSNR 33.2 dB) were reconstructed from only 6.25% of all data points in q,k-space, resulting in a reduction in the data acquisition time from 4 h to 14 min. The spatially-resolved propagators were reconstructed using both the total variation and nuclear norm sparsifying transforms; use of total variation resulted in a slightly higher quality of the reconstructed image in most cases. To illustrate the power of this method to characterise heterogeneous flow in porous media, the method is applied to the characterisation of flow in a vuggy carbonate rock
Structured random measurements in signal processing
Compressed sensing and its extensions have recently triggered interest in
randomized signal acquisition. A key finding is that random measurements
provide sparse signal reconstruction guarantees for efficient and stable
algorithms with a minimal number of samples. While this was first shown for
(unstructured) Gaussian random measurement matrices, applications require
certain structure of the measurements leading to structured random measurement
matrices. Near optimal recovery guarantees for such structured measurements
have been developed over the past years in a variety of contexts. This article
surveys the theory in three scenarios: compressed sensing (sparse recovery),
low rank matrix recovery, and phaseless estimation. The random measurement
matrices to be considered include random partial Fourier matrices, partial
random circulant matrices (subsampled convolutions), matrix completion, and
phase estimation from magnitudes of Fourier type measurements. The article
concludes with a brief discussion of the mathematical techniques for the
analysis of such structured random measurements.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figure
