PURPOSE: Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI requires high spatial resolution for morphological information and high temporal resolution for contrast pharmacokinetic modeling. The current fast imaging techniques [1-5] have shown success in improving the temporal resolution of DCE-MRI. However, it is still challenging to improve both the spatial and temporal resolutions simultaneously. This abst...

Compressed sensing has become an extensive research area in MR community because of the opportunity for unprecedented high spatio-temporal resolution reconstruction. Because dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) usually has huge redundancy along temporal direction, compressed sensing theory can be effectively used for this application. Historically, exploiting the temporal redundancy has bee...

PURPOSE To develop a technique for dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of joint motion based on a combination of real-time TrueFISP (fast imaging with steady state precession) imaging with surface radiofrequency (RF) coils. MATERIALS AND METHODS The metacarpal, elbow, tarsal, and knee joint of five volunteers and the knees of four patients were examined with a real-time TrueFISP sequence...
