Accuracy, limits, and approximation

Accuracy, limits, and approximation

Accuracy, limits, and approximations are common in many fields, especially in engineering calculations. These concepts are imperative for ensuring that a given value is as close as possible to its true value.
Accuracy is defined as the closeness of the measured value to the true or actual value. In engineering mechanics, repeated measurements are taken during theoretical or experimental analyses to ensure that the result is precise and accurate.
The accuracy of any solution is based on the...

Background:

Golden ratio sampling offers flexible temporal resolution and k-space coverage in MRI.
However, irrational angles in golden ratio sampling complicate point-spread function (PSF) precomputation and data processing.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel radial sampling scheme, rational approximation of golden angles (RAGA), combining golden ratio advantages with equidistant pattern simplicity.
To overcome the processing complexities associated with irrational increments in golden ratio sampling.

Main Methods:

Mathematical derivation of RAGA sampling theoretical properties.
Numerical computation and comparison of sidelobe-to-peak ratios (SPR) against golden ratio sampling.
Implementation in the BART toolbox and a radial gradient-echo sequence, with feasibility demonstrated in phantom and cardiac imaging.

Main Results:

RAGA sampling closely approximates golden ratio sampling in terms of PSF and SPR.
RAGA simplifies reconstruction by allowing consistent equidistant trajectories across frames with varying sampling masks.
Encoded spoke angles as indices streamline data processing compared to golden ratio methods.

Conclusions:

RAGA sampling successfully merges the benefits of golden ratio sampling with enhanced data processing simplicity.
This method is a valuable advancement for dynamic and quantitative MRI, improving workflow efficiency.
