Synopsis

Prospectively undersampled 5D echo-planar J-resolved spectroscopic imaging (EP-JRESI) data were acquired in 9 prostate cancer patients and 3 healthy controls. The 5D data was reconstructed using Dictionary learning (DL), Total Variation (TV), Perona-Malik (PM) and a hybrid DLTV method combining DL and TV. DLTV uses the gradient sparsity of TV and the learned dictionary-based sparsity of DL to further increase the transform sparsity of the data. The DLTV method unambiguously resolved 2D J-resolved peaks including myo-inositol, citrate, creatine, spermine and choline with an improved reconstruction that facilitates higher acceleration factors, leading to significant reduction in scan time.
