Compressed sensing (CS) based methods have recently been used to reconstruct magnetic resonance (MR) images from undersampled measurements, which is known as CS-MRI. In traditional CS-MRI, wavelet transform can hardly capture the information of image curves and edges. In this paper, we present a new CS-MRI reconstruction algorithm based on contourlet transform and alternating direction method (ADM). The MR images are firstly represented by contourlet transform, which can describe the images’ curves and edges fully and accurately. Then the MR images are reconstructed by ADM, which is an effective CS reconstruction method. Numerical results validate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of reconstruction accuracy and computation time.

When original data is not complete or image degenerates, image reconstruction and recovery will be very important. In order to acquire reconstruction or recovery image with good quality, compressed sensing provides the possibility of achieving, and an image reconstruction algorithm based on compressed sensing with split Bregman method and fuzzy bases sparse representation is proposed, split strategy is applied in split Bregman algorithm in order to accelerate convergence speed; At the same time, discrete cosine transform and dual orthogonal wavelet transform are treated as bases to represent image sparsely, and image is reconstructed by using split Bregman algorithm. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can improve convergence speed and reconstruction image quality.

Compressive sensing (CS) theory has great potential for reconstructing CT images from sparse-views projection data. Currently, total variation (TV-) based CT reconstruction method is a hot research point in medical CT field, which uses the gradient operator as the sparse representation approach during the iteration process. However, the images reconstructed by this method often suffer the smoothing problem; to improve the quality of reconstructed images, this paper proposed a hybrid reconstruction method combining TV and non-aliasing Contourlet transform (NACT) and using the Split-Bregman method to solve the optimization problem. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reconstruct high-quality CT images from few-views projection using less iteration numbers, which is more effective in suppressing noise and artefacts than algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) and TV-based reconstruction method.

Background: This study is carried out targeting the problem of slow response time and performance degradation of imaging system caused by large data of medical ultrasonic imaging. In view of the advantages of CS, it is applied to medical ultrasonic imaging to solve the above problems. Objective: Under the condition of satisfying the speed of ultrasound imaging, the quality of imaging can be further improved to provide the basis for accurate medical diagnosis. Methods: According to CS theory and the characteristics of the array ultrasonic imaging system, block compressed sensing ultrasonic imaging algorithm is proposed based on wavelet sparse representation. Results: Three kinds of observation matrices have been designed on the basis of the proposed algorithm, which can be selected to reduce the number of the linear array channels and the complexity of the ultrasonic imaging system to some extent. Conclusion: The corresponding simulation program is designed, and the result shows that this algorithm can greatly reduce the total data amount required by imaging and the number of data channels required for linear array transducer to receive data. The imaging effect has been greatly improved compared with that of the spatial frequency domain sparse algorithm.

Background: In order to overcome the limitation of long scanning time, compressive sensing (CS) technology exploits the sparsity of image in some transform domain to reduce the amount of acquired data. Therefore, CS has been widely used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction. </P><P> Discussion: Blind compressed sensing enables to recover the image successfully from highly under- sampled measurements, because of the data-driven adaption of the unknown transform basis priori. Moreover, analysis-based blind compressed sensing often leads to more efficient signal reconstruction with less time than synthesis-based blind compressed sensing. Recently, some experiments have shown that nonlocal low-rank property has the ability to preserve the details of the image for MRI reconstruction. Methods: Here, we focus on analysis-based blind compressed sensing, and combine it with additional nonlocal low-rank constraint to achieve better MR images from fewer measurements. Instead of nuclear norm, we exploit non-convex Schatten p-functionals for the rank approximation. </P><P> Results & Conclusion: Simulation results indicate that the proposed approach performs better than the previous state-of-the-art algorithms.

Image reconstruction based on sparse constraints is an important research topic in compressed sensing. Sparsity adaptive matching pursuit (SAMP) is a greedy pursuit reconstruction algorithm, which reconstructs signals without prior information of the sparsity level and potentially presents better reconstruction performance than other greedy pursuit algorithms. However, SAMP still suffers from being sensitive to the step size selection at high sub-sampling ratios. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a constrained backtracking matching pursuit (CBMP) algorithm for image reconstruction. The composite strategy, including two kinds of constraints, effectively controls the increment of the estimated sparsity level at different stages and accurately estimates the true support set of images. Based on the relationship analysis between the signal and measurement, an energy criterion is also proposed as a constraint. At the same time, the four-to-one rule is improved as an extra constraint. Comprehensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CBMP yields better performance and further stability than other greedy pursuit algorithms for image reconstruction.
