k-t SLR formulation:

k-t SLR exploits the low rank and sparsity properties of dynamic data to enable recovery from undersampled k-t measurements.  k-t SLR is formulated as a spectral and sparsity regularized optimization problem below, where the Schatten p-norm is used as a surrogate for the rank of the matrix, and the spatio-temporal total variation norm is used as a surrogate for spatio-temporal smoothness of dynamic data.

Examples provided in the codes: The algorithm is demonstrated based on retorspective undersampling of a numerical PINCAT phantom and an in-vivo fully sampled dataset, both in the context of cardiac perfusion MRI. Below are some screen shots of the reconstructions along with the image time series. Please refer to Readme.pdf file in the code package for instructions on the usage of the code.
