A greedy regularized block Kaczmarz method for accelerating reconstruction in magnetic particle imaging

Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging medical tomographic imaging modality that enables real-time imaging with high sensitivity and high spatial and temporal resolution. For the system matrix reconstruction method, the MPI reconstruction problem is an ill-posed inverse problem that is commonly solved using the Kaczmarz algorithm. However, the high computation time of the Kaczmarz algorithm, which restricts MPI reconstruction speed, has limited the development of potential clinical applications for real-time MPI. In order to achieve fast reconstruction in real-time MPI, we propose a greedy regularized block Kaczmarz method (GRBK) which accelerates MPI reconstruction.
