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.
