Analysis Of Accelerated 4d Flow Mri In The Murine Aorta By Radial Acquisition And Compressed Sensing Reconstruction
NMR IN BIOMEDICINE(2020)
摘要
Preclinical 4D flow MRI remains challenging and is restricted for parallel imaging acceleration due to the limited number of available receive channels. A radial acquisition with combined parallel imaging and temporal compressed sensing reconstruction was implemented to achieve accelerated preclinical 4D flow MRI. In order to increase the accuracy of the measured velocities, a quantitative evaluation of different temporal regularization weights for the compressed sensing reconstruction based on velocity instead of magnitude data is performed. A 3D radial retrospectively triggered phase contrast sequence with a combined parallel imaging and compressed sensing reconstruction with temporal regularization was developed. It was validated in a phantom and in vivo (C57BL/6 J mice), against an established fully sampled Cartesian sequence. Different undersampling factors (USFs [12, 15, 20, 30, 60]) were evaluated, and the effect of undersampling was analyzed in detail for magnitude and velocity data. Temporal regularization weights lambda were evaluated for different USFs. Acceleration factors of up to 20 compared with full Nyquist sampling were achieved. The peak flow differences compared with the Cartesian measurement were the following: USF 12, 3.38%; USF 15, 4.68%; USF 20, 0.95%. The combination of 3D radial center-out trajectories and compressed sensing reconstruction is robust against motion and flow artifacts and can significantly reduce measurement time to 30 min at a resolution of 180 mu m(3). Concisely, radial acquisition with combined compressed sensing and parallel imaging proved to be an excellent method for analyzing complex flow patterns in mice.
