Abstract

Abstract The clinical applicability of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is often constrained by prolonged scanning durations, particularly in emergency scenarios. To address this, this study conducts a comparative analysis between a traditional greedy algorithm, Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP), and a deep learning alternative known as Generative Adversarial Networks for compressed sensing (GANCS). Empirical evidence suggests that GANCS outperforms the classical method by delivering higher fidelity images from highly undersampled data, while also ensuring rapid processing speeds following the training phase.
