Synopsis

For wireless MRI data links employing simple ASK or DPSK binary modulation, there is a need to compress the k-space data to lower data rates and use less spectral bandwidth. We explored Fibonacci and Exp-Golomb universal codes for lossless compression. Our results indicate that compression can reduce rates to 1/3 to 1/4 of the original levels. Actual compression will depend on signal gain, as well as k-space trajectories. These results suggest the development of an MRI codec for future wireless or fiber optic RF coil array data links.
