This work illustrates the application of a wavelet based least square regularized image reconstruction for non-Cartesian MR sampling trajectories in the framework of low concentration Phosphorus Imaging. We compared performances between 3D Cartesian Fast Imaging with Steady-state free Precession (FISP) and the TPI (FISP) sequence and show that in equivalent acquisition durations we are able to produce better images with the TPI sequence. Prospective sub-sampling was also performed and results open exciting possibilities to reduce acquisition time without impacting image quality for non-proton MRI.
