A k-space compression
strategy is proposed in a 3D alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)
framework in this study, with data and image series compressed, and
intermediate computation simplified.
(top) We
utilize a singular value decomposition (SVD) based k-space compression method. Image
series $$$x$$$ can be compressed with SVD. (bottom) in the iterative
reconstruction, the undersampling mask $$$P$$$ is replaced by $$$U_R^H P U_R $$$ with a size of R times R for a compressed
k-space, instead of computing vary large data matrices. Therefore, the iterative
reconstruction is performed on a compressed k-space.

in vivo result, acquired using a stack of spiral MRF. Severe artifacts resisted
in the backprojection method, while they were effectively reduced with the
proposed method.
