Prerequisites
Development of algorithms plays an important role in this seminar. Thus, participants should have established programming skills in C++ and/or Matlab. Furthermore, it is advantageous for participants to have attended lectures on image processing or pattern recognition. An introduction into the software framework and MRI basics will be given at the beginning of the seminar.

Contents
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful medical imaging modality that provides a detailed soft tissue contrast. In contrast to computed tomography (CT), the patient is not exposed to radiation during the examination. Recently, methods to speed up image acquisition were proposed that apply iterative reconstruction techniques like compressed sensing to maintain image quality. In this seminar we will discuss current methods, challenges and promising applications in MR imaging. The goal of this seminar is to discuss and compare different approaches in the literature. You have the opportunity to implement and evaluate ideas and methods within an MRI reconstruction framework that is currently being developed by the MRI group at the Pattern Recognition Lab (LME). The reconstruction framework provides modular components for the imaging pipeline, ranging from image acquisition to different reconstruction techniques.
The seminar will cover the following aspects:
  • MRI simulation and data acquisition schemes

  • Iterative reconstruction techniques#

  • Sparse image representations (Wavelets, Total Variation)

  • GPU acceleration / parallelization of performance-critical tasks
