MR-EPT Reconstruction Using an Inverse Formulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electrical conductivity of soft tissues can be reconstructed from imaging with MR Electrical Properties Tomography (MR-EPT). The reconstruction method used here is based on an inverse problem formulation, with two advantages over a direct inversion approach: a) no spatial differentiation is needed and b) the regularization term determines the resolution of the reconstructed data. The process is exemplified using phantom (gelatine and saline) data.

Under-Determined Non-cartesian MR Reconstruction with Non-convex Sparsity Promoting Analysis Prior
This work explores the problem of solving the MR reconstruction problem when the number of K-space samples acquired in a non-Cartesian grid is considerably less than the resolution (number of pixels) of the image. Mathematically this leads to the solution of an under-determined and ill-posed inverse problem. The inverse problem can only be solved when certain additional/prior assumption is made...
