Title
Curvelets as a sparse basis for compressed sensing magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract
We present an example of compressed sensing magnetic resonance imaging reconstruction where curvelets instead of wavelets provide a superior sparse basis when coupled to a group sparse representation of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging of the human breast. Taking a fully sampled CEST acquisition from a healthy volunteer, we retrospectively undersampled by a factor of four. We find that a group-sparse formulation of the reconstruction coupled with either Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau 9/7 wavelets or curvelets provided superior results to a spatial-only regularized reconstruction. Between the group sparse reconstructions, the curvelet-regularized reconstruction outperformed the wavelet-regularized reconstruction.
