k-t SPARSE-SENSE MATLAB Code

Combined parallel imaging and compressed sensing reconstruction for accelerated perfusion MRI.

We are sharing a combined compressed sensing and parallel imaging reconstruction for accelerated dynamic MRI.

The algorithm merges k-t SPARSE—a high-frame-rate imaging technique that exploits spatio-temporal sparsity—with sensitivity encoding (SENSE) reconstruction to substantially increase the acceleration rate for perfusion imaging.

The MATLAB code includes reconstruction algorithms and examples of cardiac cine and perfusion MRI. The non-linear reconstruction algorithm was implemented using conjugate gradient and iterative soft-thresholding. For more information, see the related publication.
