Menze A Robust Reconstruction Method for Quantitative Perfusion MRI: Application to Brain Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast (DSC) Imaging Proceedings of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), Hawaii, USA, April 2017 (bib)
	We propose a robust reconstruction model for dynamic perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from undersampled k-space data. Our method is based on a joint penalization of the pixel-wise incoherence on temporal differences and patch-wise dissimilarities between spatio-temporal neighborhoods of perfusion image series. We evaluate our method on dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC)-MRI brain perfusion datasets and demonstrate that the proposed reconstruction model can achieve up to 8-fold acceleration by yielding improved spatial reconstructions and providing highly accurate matching of perfusion time-intensity curves, thus leading to more precise quantification of clinically relevant perfusion parameters over two existing reconstruction methods.
