Cardiac MRI schemes such as myocardial perfusion and viability imaging play key roles in evaluating both ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease. The need to reliably detect subtle lesions requires good in-plane spatial resolution, good spatial coverage, high temporal resolution, long breath-hold duration and good contrast to noise ratio. Since these contradictory goals are often difficult to realize, clinicians are often forced to compromise on spatio-temporal resolution and coverage
The main focus of this talk is to introduce adaptive signal representations to considerably improve the state of the art in dynamic MRI. I will start by introducing blind linear models, where the basis functions and the coefficients of the representation are estimated from highly under-sampled MRI data. The recovery is posed as an optimization problem, which is solved using a fast augmented Lagrangian algorithm. This framework is then extended to blind compressive sensing, where the dictionary basis functions and the sparse coefficients are estimated from heavily under-sampled data. I will also introduce a novel algorithm for dictionary learning from under-sampled data. Unlike classical algorithms, the proposed scheme can handle arbitrary dictionary constraints; I will also illustrate the utility in using alternate dictionary constraints to further improve the recovery.
