Suppressing multi-channel ultra-low-field MRI measurement noise using data consistency and image sparsity.

Ultra-low-field (ULF) MRI (B 0 = 10-100 µT) typically suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). While SNR can be improved by pre-polarization and signal detection using highly sensitive superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensors, we propose to use the inter-dependency of the k...
