tgvnn: Dynamic MR Image Reconstruction using TGV and Low Rank Decomposition

tgvnn is an open-source CUDA-based GPU code to perform compressed sensing based dynamic MRI reconstruction as fast as possible with validated accuracy. The propoed model decomposes the dynamic MR image as a sparse component L and a low rank component S, which are contrainted by second order TGV and nuclear norm respectively. The model is

where A is the sampling matrix and B is the undersampled data. tgvnn implements the proposed model using Primal-Dual algorithm.
