Chair-based exercises for frail older people: a systematic review.

abstract：:It is challenging and inspiring for us to achieve high spatiotemporal resolutions in dynamic cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this paper, we introduce two novel models and algorithms to reconstruct dynamic cardiac MRI data from under-sampled k - t space data. In contrast to classical low-rank and sparse mo...
