3D Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Using Undersampled Golden-Radial Phase Encoding

چکیده
INTRODUCTION: 3D Time-Resolved Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is an important tool to depict anatomic and dynamic information (bolus pass) of thoracic vessels. The current limitation of this application is the requirement of both high spatial and temporal resolution. Several methods have been proposed to overcome this problem [1-3], however, these techniques usually need an accurate timing of the bolus arrival and a fixed, predetermined trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution. As an alternative, we propose a new dynamic undersampled acquisition scheme, which combines a 3D radial phase encoding trajectory [4] with the golden angle profile order [5]. This approach allows retrospective adaptation of the spatial-temporal resolution trade-off according to the different stages of the bolus pass. For instance, images can be reconstructed with high temporal resolution for the first dynamic frames and high spatial resolution for the later ones, without the need of a previous bolus track acquisition. Moreover, the proposed method takes advantage of the flexibility and properties of the trajectory to provide an explicit good regularization for iterative reconstructions.

3D Undersampled Golden-Radial Phase Encoding Using Iterative Reconstructions and Inherent Regularization
INTRODUCTION: The reconstruction of sensitivity–encoded non–Cartesian undersampled MRI has been facilitated by the use of iterative techniques [1]. However, the ill-conditioning of the associated inverse problem produces residual aliasing and noise amplification. A proven approach to stabilize the reconstruction and to diminish these effects is the use of explicit regularization methods [2-3], ...

Introduction Compressed Sensing (CS) [1,2] suggests that using nonlinear reconstruction algorithms based on convex optimization an accurate signal reconstruction can be obtained from a number of samples much lower than required by the Nyquist limit. Recently, CS was demonstrated for MR imaging from undersampled data [3, 4]. Prerequisites for a good image reconstruction are the image compressibi...

INTRODUCTION: Navigator gating is a proven approach to reduce respiratory motion artifacts in free-breathing 3D MRI. Moreover, self-gating techniques to avoid steady state interruption [1, 2], and automatic navigator window selection of the most common respiratory phase [3], have been proposed. However, the most common respiratory position does not necessarily give the best image quality, as ha...

INTRODUCTION Adaptive sampling of k-space allows images in dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI to be reconstructed at various spatial and temporal resolutions from the same dataset. Golden-angle radial kspace sampling achieves this flexibility in-plane with samples incremented by the golden angle, φ = (√5 1)/2 * 180° [1,2]. These projections fill 2D k-space with projections that have a relative...
