Abstract: Recently, exploiting low rank property of the data accomplished by the non-convex optimization has shown great potential to decrease measurements for compressed sensing. In this paper, the low rank regularization is adopted to gradient similarity minimization, and applied for highly undersampled magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction, termed gradient-based low rank MRI reconstruction (GLRMRI). In the proposed method, by incorporating the spatially adaptive iterative singular-value thresholding (SAIST) to optimize our gradient scheme, the deterministic annealing iterates the procedure e±ciently and superior reconstruction performance is achieved. Extensive experimental results have consistently demonstrated that GLRMRI recovers both real- valued MR images and complex-valued MR data accurately, especially in the edge preserving perspective, and outperforms the current state-of-the-art approaches in terms of higher peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and lower high-frequency error norm (HFEN) values.
