One approach to accelerating data acquisition in magnetic resonance imaging is acquisition of partial k-space data and recovery of missing data based on the sparsity of the image in the wavelet transform domain. We hypothesize that the application of stationary wavelet transform (SWT) thresholding as a sparsity-promoting operation results in improved artifact removal performance in comparison w...
