System identification theory in pharmacokinetic modeling of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI: influence of contrast injection.

abstract：:Compressed sensing has been of great interest to speed up the acquisition of MR images. The k-t group sparse (k-t GS) method has recently been introduced for dynamic MR images to exploit not just the sparsity, as in compressed sensing, but also the spatial group structure in the sparse representation. k-t GS achieves ...
