An analytical SMASH procedure (ASP) for sensitivity-encoded MRI

Sensitivity encoded cardiac MRI.

Imaging speed is a key factor in most cardiovascular applications of magnetic resonance imaging. Recently, simultaneous signal acquisition with multiple coils has received increasing attention as a means of enhancing scan speed in MRI. Based on this approach, the sensitivity encoding technique SENSE enables substantial scan time reduction by exploiting the inherent spatial encoding effect of re...

Pocsense: Pocs-based Reconstruction for Sensitivity Encoded Mri

A novel method for iterative reconstruction of images from undersampled MRI data acquired by multiple receiver coil systems is presented. Based on parallel Projection onto Convex Sets (POCS) formalism, the method for SENSitivity Encoded data reconstruction (POCSENSE) can be readily modified to include various linear and non-linear reconstruction constraints. Such constraints may be beneficial f...

Surviving Solver Sensitivity: An ASP Practitioner's Guide

Answer set programming (ASP) is a declarative programming formalism that allows a practitioner to specify a problem without describing an algorithm for solving it. In ASP, the tools for processing problem specifications are called answer set solvers. Because specified problems are often NP complete, these systems often require significant computational effort to succeed. Furthermore, they offer...

An ANOVA Based Analytical Dynamic Matrix Controller Tuning Procedure for FOPDT Models

Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) is a widely used model predictive controller (MPC) in industrial plants. The successful implementation of DMC in practical applications requires a proper tuning of the controller. The available tuning procedures are mainly based on experience and empirical results. This paper develops an analytical tool for DMC tuning. It is based on the application of Analysis of V...
