MR spectroscopy with hyperpolarised [1-13C] agents is a
novel functional imaging modality that examines natural
metabolic reactions. Due to rapid signal decay and
challenging experimental settings reconstructed images
exhibit low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and artifacts.
In this work the SNR improvement by 20% at least was
achieved with iterative reconstruction with included
Tikhonov, total variation (TV), total generalised
variation (TGV) regularisation terms as well as
anatomy-based support mask. The proposed methods were
validated in mathematical simulations and in vivo
studies and proved to be advantageous for reconstruction
of functional metabolic images.
