Regularized reconstruction of 3D high-resolution magnetic resonance images from acquisitions of anisotropically degraded resolutions

摘要

We present an original method to reconstruct 3D magnetic resonance images of high resolution in the 3 directions of space from two anisotropic volumes. The resolution of each volume is degraded in a different direction. The reconstruction method is based on an optimization technique, the constraints being fidelity to the acquired data on the one hand, smoothness and edge preservation on the other hand. The interest of such a method is to significantly decrease the acquisition time of MR images, without degrading the spatial resolution.
