To improve the spatial resolution of 3D MRSI, a feature-based nonlocal means approach utilizing the structural information of high-resolution MR images is proposed. By estimating similarity between voxels using a feature vector that characterizes the laminar pattern of brain structures, a more accurate similarity measure is achieved compared to conventional upsampling methods. The preliminary results on simulated and in vivo data indicate the proposed method has great potential for clinically neuroimaging applications.
