The recently introduced Compressed Sensing (CS) theory promises to accelerate data acquisition in MRI. In this work, we propose a framework for designing and utilizing sparse dictionaries in CS MRI applications. Reconstruction results demonstrate that the proposed technique can yield significantly improved image quality compared to commonly used sparsity transforms in CS MRI.
