Second-Order TGV Reconstruction for Undersampled Radial MRI

Total generalized variation for denoising and reconstruction of accelerated MR data.

We are sharing MATLAB reconstruction code for undersampled radial MR data with a second-order total generalized variation (TGV) constraint and a primal dual extragradient method.

We proposed TGV as a generalization of the total variation theory. As a penalty term for MRI problems, TGV preserves the benefits of previously introduced total variation (TV) without being bound by the limitations inherent in the assumptions that underlie TV.

For more details, see the related publication.
