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.
3D 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.
