Low rankness of image/k-space data has been exploited in many different MRI applications. In this work, we introduce weighted-nuclear-norm minimization for MRI low-rank reconstruction, in which smaller thresholds are used for larger eigenvalues to reduce information loss. Our simulation results demonstrate that weighted nuclear norm could serve as a better rank approximation compared to (unweighted) nuclear norm. With this technique, we achieve 10-shot DWI and high-fidelity half-millimetre DWI reconstruction with significantly reduced ghosting artifacts.
