The MRI scan that needs less data #Shorts

What if an MRI scan could produce a useful image with fewer measurements?

Mathematicians Terence Tao and Emmanuel Candès studied an idea called compressed sensing. If the data has enough structure, a few measurements may be enough to reconstruct an image without recording every point separately.

But there is a key condition: it does not work with just any image, and simply deleting information at random is not enough. The structure of the data and how the measurements are taken matter.

This mathematical research contributed to the development of techniques for speeding up MRI scans. A question about data ended up connecting with medical imaging.
