Two-dimensional compressed sensing using the cross-sampling approach for low-field MRI systems.

Abstract

A compressed sensing method using a cross sampling and self-calibrated off-resonance correction is proposed. Estimation of the magnetic field inhomogeneity based on image registration enables the off-resonance correction with no additional radio-frequency pulses or acquisitions. In addition to this advantage, a fast and straightforward calculation was achieved by using the first-order components of the magnetic field inhomogeneity. Imaging experiments using a phantom and a chemically fixed mouse demonstrated practical benefits in improving blurring and artifacts in magnetic resonance images in low field magnetic resonance imaging systems.
