Compressed sensing (CS) may be useful for accelerating data acquisitions in high-resolution fMRI. Most of the existing CS-fMRI studies have been conducted with synthesized experiments where fully sampled k-space data were retrospectively down-sampled. However, it is diļ¬ƒcult to determine pulse sequence-dependent artifacts as well as potential advantages of improved temporal resolutions using retrospective analyses. Here, we systematically investigated the properties of CS-fMRI using computer simulations and in vivo experiments of rat forepaw and odor stimulations with 2-dimensional gradient-recalled echo (GRE) and echo planar imaging sequences. Our results show that CS improves the statistical performance of fMR with negligible image artifacts.
