Synopsis

Novel image and patch manifold models that can exploit the non-linear and non-local redundancies in a dynamic dataset will be introduced. Specifically, the collection of images/patches in the dataset is assumed to be on a smooth manifold. I will introduce novel iterative algorithms to exploit the structure of the data. The use of these algorithms enables implicit motion compensation and motion resolution, and hence is a good alternative to current strategies that perform these operations explicity.

Introduction to Manifold models

Several model based reconstruction algorithms, which model dynamic MRI datasets as a linear combination of basis functions, have been introduced in the last several years with great success. However, these methods have limited ability in exploiting the non-linear and non-local dependencies in several MR imaging applications, including free breathing and ungated dynamic MRI. In this talk, I will introduce image and patch manifold models that can exploit these redundancies. Specifically, the collection of images/patches in the dataset is assumed to be on a smooth manifold. I will introduce novel iterative algorithms to exploit the structure of the data. The use of these algorithms enables implicit motion compensation and motion resolution, and hence is a good alternative to current strategies that perform these operations explicity.
