Compressed sensing subtracted rotational angiography with multiple sparse penalty

Digital Subtraction Rotational Angiography (DSRA) is a clinical protocol that allows three-dimensional (3D) visualization of vasculature during minimally invasive procedures. C-arm systems that are used to generate 3D reconstructions in interventional radiology have limited sampling rate and thus, contrast resolution. To address this particular subsampling problem, we propose a novel iterative reconstruction algorithm based on compressed sensing. To this purpose, we exploit both spatial and temporal sparsity of DSRA. For computational efficiency, we use a proximal implementation that accommodates multiple l 1 -penalties. Experiments on both simulated and clinical data confirm the relevance of our strategy for reducing subsampling streak artifacts.
