Description
Summary:The methods of compressed sensing magnetic resonance imaging (CS-MRI) can be divided into two categories roughly based on the number of target variables. One group devotes to estimating the complex-valued MRI image. And the other calculates the magnitude and phase parts of the complex-valued MRI image, respectively, by enforcing separate penalties on them. We propose a new CS-based method based on dual-tree complex wavelet (DT CWT) sparsity, which is under the frame of the second class of CS-MRI. Owing to the separate regularization frame, this method reduces the impact of the phase jumps (that means the jumps or discontinuities of phase values) on magnitude reconstruction. Moreover, by virtue of the excellent features of DT CWT, such as nonoscillating envelope of coefficients and multidirectional selectivity, the proposed method is capable of capturing more details in the magnitude and phase images. The experimental results show that the proposed method recovers the image contour and edges information well and can eliminate the artifacts in magnitude results caused by phase jumps.
