Synopsis

PCA denoising based on the Marchenko-Pastur (MP) distribution has become the state-of-the-art procedure to suppress thermal noise in multi-dimensional MRI. Here we developed a Hybrid-PCA strategy that combines a-priori noise variance estimation and the random matrix theory for PCA eigenvalue classification, to overcome shortcomings of contemporary MP-PCA denoising. Our results show that, while the MP-PCA denoising fails to classify the noise PCA components in data with spatially correlated noise, the Hybrid-PCA algorithm maintains its denoising performance. The Hybrid-PCA denoising can thus be a useful procedure for data corrupted by spatially correlated noise, as typically arises in vendor reconstructed data.
