High temporal & spatial resolution 4D imaging with large
volume coverage is needed to accurately capture organ
perfusion. Typically, parallel-imaging reconstruction is
done to achieve high frame rate and large volume
coverage and results in a loss of signal to noise ratio
compared to Nyquist sampling. Furthermore, residual
under-sampling artifacts are temporally varying and
complicate the quantitative analysis of contrast
enhancement curves needed for pharmacokinetic modeling.
Here, we propose a method, Patch based Reconstruction Of
Undersampled Data or PROUD, that will both improve noise
characteristics as well as minimize temporally-varying
residual artifacts.
