Abstract:
A method of reconstructing a complex multidimensional image matrix having magnitude and phase information, the method comprising:acquiring sampled data values to fill a first portion of data points in a data matrix, all other portions of the data matrix constituting a second portion of data points in the data matrix, the sampled data values coming from a first signal having magnitude and phase information; calculating a magnitude component for each data point within an image matrix by transforming the data matrix using an inverse multidimensional transformation method, the calculation being made with the first portion of data points having the sampled data values assigned thereto and the second portion of data points having initial values assigned thereto; and calculating a phase component for each data point within the image matrix by transforming the data matrix using an inverse multidimensional transformation method, the calculation being made with at least one data point of the data matrix having a value assigned thereto that is different from the value assigned to the at least one data point when calculating the magnitude component.
