k-t SLR: Accelerated dynamic MRI using low rank and sparse penalties [1,2]


  1. 1.CPU version: MATLAB codes


  1. 2.GPU version: MATLAB-JACKET codes (under construction).


3. The above codes considers the minimization of the cost:




















  1. 4.Please refer to Readme.pdf for the use of the codes.



  1. 5.The algorithm is demonstrated based on retrospective under-sampling of a numerical PINCAT phantom and an in-vivo fully sampled data set, both in the context of cardiac perfusion MRI. Below are some screen shots of the reconstructions along with the image time series:
