We propose a novel approach to designing optimal k-space sampling patterns for sparsity-constrained MRI. The new approach, called OEDIPUS (Oracle-based Experiment Design for Imaging Parsimoniously Under Sparsity constraints), is inspired by insights and methods from estimation theory and the statistical design of experiments. Specifically, OEDIPUS combines the oracle-based Cramér-Rao bound for sparsity-constrained reconstruction with sequential greedy algorithms for observation selection. We demonstrate that OEDIPUS can be used to deterministically and automatically generate k-space sampling patterns that are tailored to specific hardware and application contexts, and which lead to better reconstruction performance relative to conventional sampling approaches for sparse MRI.
