Abstract

In a method for reconstructing magnetic resonance (MR) image data from k-space data, k-space data of an image region of a subject are provided to a computer that is also provided with multiple navigator signals for the image region of the subject. The computer sorts the k-space data into multiple bins, the multiple bins representing different motion states of the subject. For each of the multiple bins, the computer executes a compressed sensing procedure to reconstruct the MR image data from the k-space data in the respective bin. Execution of the compressed sensing procedure includes solving an optimization problem comprising a data consistency component and a transform sparsity component. Motion information is incorporated by the computer into at least one of the data consistency component and the transform sparsity component of the optimization problem.
