Density compensation is a mandatory step for direct
reconstruction of radial MRI data. We interpret density
compensation as a left-hand-side preconditioner of the
measurement operator. We propose an alternative
formulation as a right-hand-side preconditioner
compatible with regularized iterative reconstruction. In
the case of under-sampled radial trajectories, we show
that a ramp filter overemphasizes high frequencies.
Instead, we calibrate the preconditioner offline. We
show that preconditioning accelerates the reconstruction
and improves the sharpness of the reconstructed images.
