Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI plays an important role in the detection of liver metastases, characterization of tumors, assessing tumor response and studying diffuse liver disease. It requires a high spatial-temporal resolution. Existing iterative dynamic MRI reconstruction algorithms, such as iGRASP and L+S, realize their functions through iterative schemes. Though the solutions are generally acceptable, yet suffer from significantly high computational cost. This study proposed to use dynamic artificial sparsity and non-Cartesian parallel imaging for high spatiotemporal resolution DCE reconstruction, which results in comparable image quality relative to the above iterative schemes with greatly reduced computational cost.
