High temporal & spatial resolution 4D imaging with large volume coverage is needed to accurately capture organ perfusion. Typically, parallel-imaging reconstruction is done to achieve high frame rate and large volume coverage and results in a loss of signal to noise ratio compared to Nyquist sampling. Furthermore, residual under-sampling artifacts are temporally varying and complicate the quantitative analysis of contrast enhancement curves needed for pharmacokinetic modeling. Here, we propose a method, Patch based Reconstruction Of Undersampled Data or PROUD, that will both improve noise characteristics as well as minimize temporally-varying residual artifacts.
