ASL MRI Denoising via Multi Channel Collaborative Low-Rank Regularization.

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion MRI is the only non-invasive imaging technique for quantifying regional cerebral blood flow (CBF), which is a fundamental physiological variable. ASL MRI has a relatively low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR). In this study, we proposed a novel ASL denoising method by simultaneously exploiting the inter- and intra-receive channel data correlations.
