Spatiotemporal-based encoding offers certain advantages over traditional Fourier-based encoding, enabling an alternative way of doing MRI. Two new reconstruction approaches, maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) and total variation regularization (TVR), are evaluated for spatiotemporal encoding and compared with conventional methods (Cartesian gridded Fourier Transform and pseudo-inverse). It is demonstrated that MLE and TVR generate better images in terms of resolution and can compensate for non-uniform excitation profiles as well.
