Suppression of MRI Truncation Artifacts Using Total Variation Constrained Data Extrapolation

Figure 1

(Top) One-dimensional profile of a rectangle reconstructed by Fourier transformation from 96 Fourier samples (solid line) in comparison to the true function (dotted). While the true function is piecewise constant, the Fourier reconstruction exhibits severe ringing artifacts due to truncation of the Fourier coefficients, which causes an increased total variation (TV) value. (Bottom) Magnified view.
