Abstract

Compressed Sensing (CS), as a new framework for data acquisition and signal recovery, has been applied to accelerate conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with Fourier encoding. However, Fourier encoding is not universal and weakly spreads out the energy of most natural images. This limits the achievable reduction factors. In this paper, we propose a Toeplitz random encoding method that is universal and spreads out the image energy more evenly. The MR physical feasibility of the proposed encoding method is verified by Bloch simulation, and the superior performance of the proposed method is demonstrated in simulation results.
