Frequently MRI data does not cover completely the desired region of k space. We have investigated the reconstruction of MR images fromincompletedata using the MEMSYS 3 maximum entropy algorithm. We compare conventional modulus images with the maximum entropy images. We show the importance of incorporating spatial correlation into the maximum entropy reconstructions in order to minimize truncation artifacts.

The relative effects of spectral amplitude and phase errors on reconstructed images are studied in terms of the expected mean-square-error in the image. An appropriate mean-square-error appears to be that between reconstructed and original images that are scaled to have the same energy. Such an error metric appears to reflect the overall perceived quality of the images. Approximate relationships between spectral amplitude and phase errors that give rise to the same image mean-square-error are derived. For large amplitude errors saturation is significant and is studied by simulation. Simulations are used to illustrate these relationships. The relationship to phase dominance is discussed.

There is a strong motivation to reduce the amount of acquired data necessary to reconstruct clinically useful MR images, since less data means faster acquisition sequences, less time for the patient to remain motionless in the scanner and better time resolution for observing temporal changes within the body. We recently introduced an improvement in image quality for reconstructing parallel MR images by incorporating a data ordering step with compressed sensing (CS) in an algorithm named 'PECS'.(1) That method requires a prior estimate of the image to be available. We are extending the algorithm to explore ways of utilizing the data ordering step without requiring a prior estimate. The method presented here first reconstructs an initial image x(1) by compressed sensing (with scarcity enhanced by SvD), then derives a data ordering from x(1), R'(1), which ranks the voxels of x(1) according to their value. A second reconstruction is then performed which incorporates minimization of the first norm of the estimate after ordering by R'(1), resulting in a new reconstruction x(2). Preliminary results are encouraging.

A new imagereconstruction algorithm is constructed to remove the effect of atmospheric turbulence on motion-compensated frame averaged data collected by a laser illuminated 2-D imaging system. The algorithm simultaneously computes a high resolution image and Fried's seeing parameter via a MAP (Maximum a Priori) estimation technique. This blind deconvolution algorithm differs from other techniques in that it parameterizes the unknown component of the impulse response as an average short-exposure point spread function. The utility of the approach lies in its application to laser illuminated imaging where laser speckle and turbulence effects dominate other sources of error and the field of view of the sensor greatly exceeds the isoplanatic angle.

Optoacoustic tomography (OAT) is an emerging ultrasound-mediated biophotonic imaging modality that has exciting potential for many biomedical imaging applications. There is great interest in conducting B-mode ultrasound and OAT imaging studies for breast cancer detection using a common transducer. In this situation, the range of tomographic view angles is limited, which can result in distortions in the reconstructed OAT image if conventional reconstruction algorithms are applied to limited-view measurement data. In this work, we investigate an imagereconstruction method that utilizes information regarding target boundaries to improve the quality of the reconstructed OAT images. This is accomplished by developing boundary-constrained imagereconstruction algorithm for OAT based on Bayesian imagereconstruction theory. The computer-simulation studies demonstrate that the Bayesian approach can effectively reduce the artifact and noise levels and preserve the edges in reconstructed limited-view OAT images as compared to those produced by a conventional OAT reconstruction algorithm.

The problem of signal recovery fromincompletedata is investigated in the context of phase-space tomography. Particular emphasis is given to the case where only a limited number intensity measurements can be performed, which corresponds to partial coverage of the ambiguity function of the signal. Based on numerical simulations the impact of incomplete knowledge of the ambiguity function on the performance of phase-space tomography is illustrated. Several schemes to address the limited data problem are evaluated. This includes the use of prior information about the phase retrieval problem. In addition, the redundancy of phase-space representations is investigated as the means to recover the signal from partial knowledge of phase space. A generalization of deterministic phase retrieval is introduced which allows one to obtain a model based phase estimate for bandlimited functions. This allows one to use prior information for improving the phase estimate in the presence of noise.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for MR imagereconstruction. The algorithm minimizes a linear combination of three terms corresponding to a least square data fitting, total variation (Tv) and L1 norm regularization. This has been shown to be very powerful for the MR imagereconstruction. First, we decompose the original problem into L1 and Tv norm regularization subproblems respectively. Then, these two subproblems are efficiently solved by existing techniques. Finally, the reconstructed image is obtained from the weighted average of solutions from two subproblems in an iterative framework. We compare the proposed algorithm with previous methods in term of the reconstruction accuracy and computation complexity. Numerous experiments demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm for compressed MR imagereconstruction. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.v. All rights reserved.

Multichannel sampling strategies have been considered for a number of applications including feature specific imaging, and digital superresolution. Typically, channel coding is accomplished with a thin modulating mask, either in the focal plane, or in the aperture of the imaging system. In this contribution, we extend Hie concept of multichannel imaging to systems by suggesting the use of 3D structures for channel coding. A single pixel camera design and the single scattering approximation are used to obtain a Fourier space interpretation of 3D filters. The k-space analysis indicates that the dispersion relation of propagating plane wave modes set severe constraints if 3D filters are used for channel coding. We relate this to the broader questions about the fundamental limits of optical and computational imaging and propose 3D filters for wavelength coding and superresolution applications.

A Bayesian optimization scheme is presented for reconstructing fluorescent yield and lifetime, the absorption coefficient, and-the scattering coefficient in turbid media, such as biological tissue. The method utilizes measurements at both the excitation and emission wavelengths for reconstructing all unknown parameters. The effectiveness of the reconstruction algorithm is demonstrated by simulation and by application to experimental datafrom a tissue phantom containing a fluorescent agent.

We describe how the number of degrees of freedom associated with a scattering experiment provides a guide to the minimum number of source and receiver locations required to image the scattering target. Since the number of degrees of freedom is approximately fixed, additional measurements do not necessarily improve the image fidelity in the absence of any prior knowledge. We illustrate these observations using a fast nonlinear inverse scattering method.
