Abstract

In magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, for highly under-sampled k-space data, it is typically difficult to reconstruct images and preserve their original texture simultaneously. The high-degree total variation (HDTV) regularization handles staircase effects but still blurs textures. On the other hand, the non-local TV (NLTV) regularization can preserve textures, but will introduce additional artifacts for highly-noised images. In this paper, we propose a reconstruction model derived from HDTV and NLTV for robust MRI reconstruction. First, an MR image is decomposed into a smooth component and a texture component. Second, for the smooth component with sharp edges, isotropic second-order TV is used to reduce staircase effects. For the texture component with piece-wise constant background, NLTV and contourlet-based sparsity regularizations are employed to recover textures. The piece-wise constant background in the texture component contributes to accurately detect non-local similar image patches and avoid artifacts introduced by NLTV. Finally, the proposed reconstruction model is solved through an alternating minimization scheme. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed reconstruction model can effectively achieve satisfied quality of reconstruction for highly under-sampled k-space data.
