Abstract: Multi-contrast magnetic particle imaging (MPI) reconstructs the signal from different tracer materials or environments, resulting in multi-channel images that enable temperature or viscosity quantification. Since the multi-contrast problem is ill-posed, it is addressed by regularization methods that are commonly solved using the Kaczmarz algorithm. Unlike the single-contrast MPI problem, the multi-contrast one requires a high number of iterations to converge. Matrix compression techniques were already successfully used in single-contrast reconstruction and matrix recovery applications as in compressed sensing. Our work proposes to use matrix compression to reduce the reconstruction time needed to achieve good reconstruction quality in multi-contrast MPI.
