Pauly1 The sparsity which is implicit in MR images is exploited to groups: (a) Methods generating artifacts that are incoher- significantly undersample k -space. Some MR images such as ent or less visually apparent, at the expense of reduced angiograms are already sparse in the pixel representation; apparent SNR (1–5); (b) Methods exploiting redundancy other, more complicated images have a sparse representation in k -space, such as partial-Fourier, parallel imaging, etc. in some transform domain–for example, in terms of spatial (6–8); (c) Methods exploiting either spatial or temporal finite-differences or their wavelet coefficients. According to the recently developed mathematical theory of compressed- redundancy or both (9–13). sensing, images with a sparse representation can be recov- In this article we aim to exploit the sparsity which is ered from randomly undersampled k -space data, provided an implicit in MR images, and develop an approach combin- appropriate nonlinear recovery scheme is used.
