DISCOPOT • View sharing of k-space between a sequence of angles • Fully sampled center of k-space, under sampled outer • Outer k-space pattern is pseudo-random but complementary with shared angles • Mixing scheme: • AB1.*fa_{i} + B2.*fa_{i-1} + B3.*fa_{i+1} • Edge cases are slightly different • Tested on raw SPGR P-file data with fa1-13 • Many angles collected with the goal of mcDESPOT in mind
Solutions • Use the signal equation to scale the mixed k-space data • Can calculate scale factors a priori assuming a uniform T1 • Can scale by the ratio of energy in the centers of k-space between images • What errors do we expect we use a constant scale factor? • At higher flips, the SPGR curves are nearly parallel regardless of T1, this means that a constant scale factor should work very well • At lower flips, performance will be worse • Consider the SPGR signal as a time signal, the lower flips is where things diverge and we get different behavior with T1. After the Ernst angle, the signal decays predictably
Comments • fa1 makes a greater max error than fa8 but its distribution is tighter overall, standard deviation is lower • Perhaps central k-space energy is not a good measure at higher flips due to higher contrast • Errors are worst around CSF: periphery and ventricles
LCAMP • Compressed sensing reconstruction • Same undersampling pattern as DISCO, but do not mix data • Uses the constraint of known non-zero wavelet coefficient locations based on a prior • We use the view shared volume as this prior • Remaining questions: • How sensitive is the solution to the initial guess? • How sensitive is the solution to the location constraint?
Comments • Something is going wrong with the LCAMP reconstruction • LCAMP output seems to closely match the initial guess for fa1, is it helping much?
Conclusions and Future Work • DISCOPOT with energy scaling provides a compelling way to accelerate a DESPOT collection • Future work to apply this to a SSFP set and mcDESPOT
