ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Our aim was to demonstrate the benefits of using locally low-rank (LLR) regularization for the compressed sensing reconstruction of highly-accelerated quantitative water-fat MRI, and to validate fat fraction (FF) and [Formula see text] relaxation against reference parallel imaging in the abdomen. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Reconstructions using spatial sparsity regularization (SSR) were compared to reconstructions with LLR and the combination of both (LLR+SSR) for up to seven fold accelerated 3-D bipolar multi-echo GRE imaging. For ten volunteers, the agreement with the reference was assessed in FF and [Formula see text] maps.RESULTS:
LLR regularization showed superior noise and artifact suppression compared to reconstructions using SSR. Remaining residual artifacts were further reduced in combination with SSR. Correlation with the reference was excellent for FF with [Formula see text] = 0.99 (all methods) and good for [Formula see text] with [Formula see text] = [0.93, 0.96, 0.95] for SSR, LLR and LLR+SSR. The linear regression gave slope and bias (%) of (0.99, 0.50), (1.01, 0.19) and (1.01, 0.10), and the hepatic FF/[Formula see text] standard deviation was 3.5%/12.1 s[Formula see text], 1.9%/6.4 s[Formula see text] and 1.8%/6.3 s[Formula see text] for SSR, LLR and LLR+SSR, indicating the least bias and highest SNR for LLR+SSR.CONCLUSION:
A novel reconstruction using both spatial and spectral regularization allows obtaining accurate FF and [Formula see text] maps for prospectively highly accelerated acquisitions.Palavras-chave
