Table 2. The average image error of the CS reconstructed image and the iCS reconstructed image compared with the full k-space reference image.
Slice1 | Slice3 | Slice4 | Slice6 | Slice7 | Slice9 | ||
Average Image error | CS 1/100 | 0.0122 | 0.0094 | 0.0098 | 0.0100 | 0.0097 | 0.0088 |
CS 1/11 | 0.0108 | 0.0072 | 0.0075 | 0.0080 | 0.0078 | 0.0082 | |
iCS 1/100 | 0.0090 | 0.0066 | 0.0070 | 0.0075 | 0.0076 | 0.0052 |
By using the iCS method, the image error of each slice can be reduced compared with that of the CS method at the same undersampling rate or the same acquisition time, resulting in better image quality.
