Improved Motion Correction in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI Using Low Rank With Soft Weighting by Jichang Zhang, Faisal Najeeb, Yulin Wang, Xinpei Wang, Pengfei Xu, Hammad Omer, Jianjun Zheng, Jingfeng Zhang, Sue Francis, Paul Glover, Richard Bowtell, Thomas Meersmann, Chengbo Wang

“…We designed a soft weighting matrix that smoothly transitions spokes between the target and other motion states to suppress motion blurring. The optimized fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm (FISTA) was employed to solve the L+S optimization problem, enabling faster convergence and better image quality. …”
