Abstract
Results presented in this paper represent part of an ongoing research programme dedicated to the resolution enhancement of Fourier domain magnetic resonance (MR) data. Here we explore the use of self-similarity methods that may aid in frequency extrapolation of such data. To this end, we present analytical and empirical results demonstrating the self similarity of complex, Fourier domain MR data.
