Rapid, Embeddable Design Method for Spiral Magnetic Resonance Image Reconstruction Resampling Kernels

چکیده
Abstract. After formulating the design problem for Resampling Kernels used in Magnetic Resonance Spiral Image Reconstruction, we show that an iterative Gauss-Seidel-type interior-point optimization method is suitable (fast and light-weight) for embedded uses. In contrast to previous practice, we directly optimize a computationally efficient, piecewise-linear kernel rather than an analytic function (Kaiser-Bessel). We also optimize our kernels for worst-case (infinity-norm) signal aliasing, rather than the usual proxy energy function (2-norm) minimization. In numerical simulations of undesirable near-frequency systematic noise the new kernel significantly outperforms a conventional Kaiser-Bessel-based solution.

Fast Iterative Reconstruction for MRI from Nonuniform k-space Data
In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), methods that use a non-Cartesian (e.g. spiral) sampling grid in k-space are becoming increasingly important. Reconstruction is usually performed by resampling the data onto a Cartesian grid. In this paper we compare the standard approach (gridding) and an approach based on an implicit discretisation. We show that both methods can be solved efficiently with t...
متن کاملAuto-calibrated parallel spiral imaging.
This work describes an auto-calibrated method for parallel imaging with spiral trajectory. The method is a k-space approach where an interpolation kernel, accounting for coil sensitivity factors, is derived from experimental data and used to interpolate the reduced data set in parallel imaging to estimate the missing k-space data. For the case of spiral imaging, this interpolation kernel is def...
متن کاملComposite MR image reconstruction and unaliasing for general trajectories using neural networks.
In rapid parallel magnetic resonance imaging, the problem of image reconstruction is challenging. Here, a novel image reconstruction technique for data acquired along any general trajectory in neural network framework, called "Composite Reconstruction And Unaliasing using Neural Networks" (CRAUNN), is proposed. CRAUNN is based on the observation that the nature of aliasing remains unchanged whe...
متن کاملHigh-quality two-stage resampling for 3-D volumes in medical imaging
This paper introduces a simple method of two-stage resampling where Fourier-domain up-sampling is followed by traditional resampling. Practical aspects as well as efficient implementation techniques are considered. A new version of pruned FFT algorithms to calculate the up-sampling stage is also introduced. The suggested two-stage resampling method provides very high-quality results exceeding t...
متن کاملAn improved gridding method for spiral MRI using nonuniform fast Fourier transform.
The algorithm of Liu and Nguyen [IEEE Microw. Guided Wave Lett. 8 (1) (1998) 18; SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 21 (1) (1999) 283] for nonuniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) has been extended to two dimensions to reconstruct images using spiral MRI. The new gridding method, called LS_NUFFT, minimizes the reconstruction approximation error in the Least Square sense by generated convolution kernels that...
