Reports on applying Compressed Sensing (CS) to TOF-MRA
is still limited, probably because of difficulty due to
a relatively lower SNR, and is hence challenging. In
this work, we propose a simple and practical method to
select a good regularization parameter applicable to
TOF-MRA image reconstruction. We performed CS with 4x
accelerated data at 3.0T by the FCSA algorithm with
varying weights for Wavelet and Total Variation penalty.
Among 6 different quantitative measures, the image
selected by the highest SSIM value by using a masked MIP
image was considered best by a clinical radiologist’s
evaluation.
