MR Image Reconstruction Based on Iterative Split Bregman Algorithm and Nonlocal Total Variation

This paper introduces an efficient algorithm for magnetic resonance (MR) image reconstruction. The proposed method minimizes a linear combination of nonlocal total variation and least-square data-fitting term to reconstruct the MR images from undersampled k-space data. The nonlocal total variation is taken as the L 1-regularization functional and solved using Split Bregman iteration. The proposed algorithm is compared with previous methods in terms of the reconstruction accuracy and computational complexity. The comparison results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm for compressed MR image reconstruction.

Undecimated double density dual tree wavelet transform based image denoising using a subband adaptive threshold

This paper presents a novel method for image denoising based on the undecimated double density dual tree discrete wavelet transform (UDDDT-DWT). The critically sampled discrete wavelet transform (DWT) suffers from the drawbacks of being shift-variant and lacking the capacity to process directional information in images. The double density dual tree discrete wavelet transform (DDDT-DWT) is an approximately shift-invariant transform capturing directional information. The UDDDT-DWT is an improvement of the DDDT-DWT, making it exactly shift-invariant. An adaptive threshold is found by analyzing the statistical parameters of each subband and it is applied using modified soft thresholding. Experimental results over a range of noise variances indicate that proposed method performs better than other state of the art methods considered.

MR image reconstruction based on framelets and nonlocal total variation using split Bregman method

PurposeAn efficient algorithm for magnetic resonance (MR) image reconstruction is needed, especially when sparse sampling is employed to accelerate data acquisition. The aim of this paper is to solve the sparse MRI problem based on nonlocal total variation (NLTV) and framelet sparsity using the split Bregman algorithm. A new method was developed and tested in a variety of MR image acquisitions.MethodsThe proposed method minimizes a linear combination of NLTV, least square data fitting and framelet terms to reconstruct the MR images from undersampled
