Abstract

This paper presents a fast method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on discrete cosine transform (DCT). In the proposed method, DCT is used for phase encoding and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is used for frequency encoding. Because of the superior information compression property of DCT compared to DFT, the proposed method requires a smaller portion of the k-space to generate acceptable MRI images. Thus, the new method reduces the imaging time and increases the patient throughput. The hardware modifications for generating DCT encoded free induction decay signals and reconstruction algorithms to generate tomographic images are presented. Capability of the method in generating MRI images is illustrated through computer simulations. Finally, the effect of MRI noise on the quality of the resulting images are shown by simulation studies.
