Multi-mode dictionaries for fast CS-based dynamic MRI reconstruction

Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) is a valuable tool for understanding changes in human physiology, but its temporal and spatial resolution can be limited. Compressed sensing (CS) has been used to enhance temporal resolution by acquiring partial k-spaces of each time frame and exploiting sparsity to retain spatial resolution. Invoking CS in dMRI necessitates algorithms that can leverage both spatial sparsity within each time frame and temporal sparsity across time frames. A tensor decomposition-based multi-mode dictionary learning algorithm has been proposed to learn the spatial and temporal features of dMRI data and reconstruct it more efficiently. The extensive quantitative simulations reveal the improvement induced by the proposed method in various settings compared to state-of-the-art methods in dMRI. Further, it considerably advances reconstruction speed from trained dictionaries over the state-of-the-art, permitting faster scans catering to a larger patient group.
