Frequency-Hierarchical Active k-Space Sampling for Diagnostic MRI
Active sampling for accelerated MRI must distribute a tight sampling budget across spatial frequencies that carry very different kinds of information. Low frequencies hold most of the anatomical context; high frequencies carry the fine details that drive pathology assessment. Existing active samplers either treat both regions identically or restrict the action space to entire Cartesian rows, which forces a poor compromise at high acceleration. We propose HieraSample, a task-driven framework built around this hierarchy. A cosine-annealed curriculum lowers the acceleration factor from 20x to 4x across 80 acquisition steps while keeping a fully-sampled low-frequency disk at every step; a Mam...
