Coronary vessel wall MR imaging has
great potential to detect coronary plaques which can be important for heart
disease diagnosis. However, the imaging is always time-consuming because it
needs a large amount of data for clear vessel wall depiction. In this work, a
novel method based on compressed sensing (CS) with block-weighted total variation
(BWTV) was proposed to accelerate coronary vessel wall imaging. Simulation and
in vivo experiment results demonstrated that the proposed method can significantly
decrease the amount of data for image reconstruction without compromising the depiction
of the tiny coronary vessel wall.
