Towards a general framework for fast and feasible k-space trajectories for MRI based on projection methods

The design of feasible trajectories to traverse the k-space for sampling in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important while considering ways to reduce the scan time. Over the recent years, non-Cartesian trajectories have been observed to result in benign artifacts and being less sensitive to motion. In this paper, we propose a generalized...

Bound on the estimation grid size for sparse reconstruction in direction of arrival estimation

A bound for sparse reconstruction involving both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the estimation grid size is presented. The bound is illustrated for the case of a uniform linear array (ULA). By reducing the number of possible sparse vectors present in the feasible set of a constrained ℓ1-norm minimization problem, ambiguities in the...
