Motion-corrected compressed-sensing enables robust spiral first-pass perfusion imaging with whole heart coverage

چکیده
Background First-pass perfusion imaging using CMR is an important tool for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), but most clinical techniques are limited in their spatial coverage. While compressed-sensing (CS) holds promise for highly accelerated perfusion spiral imaging, CS techniques suffer from blurring artifacts in the setting of respiratory motion. Spiral pulse sequences have multiple advantages for myocardial perfusion imaging including high acquisition efficiency, high signal to noise (SNR) and robustness to motion and for CS including a relatively incoherent aliasing pattern. Thus, we develop a whole heart spiral first-pass perfusion sequence combined with robust motion-correction.

First-pass myocardial perfusion imaging with whole ventricular coverage using L1-SPIRIT accelerated spiral trajectories
Background First-pass perfusion imaging using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has become clinically applicable as an important tool for diagnosing coronary artery disease. We have recently demonstrated that high quality firstpass images can be acquired with an optimized spiral pulse sequence, but this sequence is only capable of imaging 3 short axis slices of the heart for a maximum heart rate...

First-pass cardiac perfusion MRI is a natural candidate for compressed sensing acceleration since its representation in the combined temporal Fourier and spatial domain is sparse and the required incoherence can be effectively accomplished by k-t random undersampling. However, the required number of samples in practice (three to five times the number of sparse coefficients) limits the accelerat...

Background First-pass perfusion CMR utilizes accelerated imaging to achieve high spatial resolution and coverage within a small acquisition window. Several compressed sensing (CS) methods have been proposed to accelerate perfusion imaging. However, patient motion due to imperfect breathholding and other factors leads to degraded quality of CS-reconstructed images. We recently demonstrated a CS ...
