Iterative Reconstruction Techniques for Magnetic Resonance ImagingAim of this project is the examination and development of
new applications for iterative reconstruction techniques for
magnetic resonance imaging in cardiology and oncology, which
in particular reduce acquisition time. For various reasons
this is desirable. On the one hand, reducing acquisition
time results in shorter examination times, which increase
patient throughput. On the other hand, it provides new
opportunities for acquisition. Many applications require the adaption of acquisition to
motion of the patient. Beside active motion, which can never
be avoided completely, additional respiratory and cardiac
motion has to be considered. In order to minimize the impact
of motion on the measurements, MR acquisitions are commonly
adapted to motion using physiological signals of the
patient. Thus, an optimal use of the restricted time slots
available for acquisition is required. Acquisition time can be reduced by skipping some measurement
data. However, using conventional methods, this leads to
artifacts in the reconstructed image. Iterative
reconstruction techniques promise to reduce artifacts in the
reconstruction of undersampled measurement data. For an
application in clinical routine, an acceptable
reconstruction time is mandatory. Therefore, an important
feature of this work is the acceleration of the algorithms
by leveraging GPUs for compute-intensive tasks. | Project manager: Dr. Kai T. Block, Peter Schmitt, Dr. Michael Zenge, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Joachim Hornegger
