The previous studies have shown phase-contrast cine MRI
is a powerful tool for studying flow-related physiology
and pathophysiology. However, the additional scans for
encoding the flow velocity information increase the
total scan time and limit the achievable spatial and
temporal resolutions within a clinically acceptable
duration. Among kinds of k-t reconstruction algorithms
exploiting spatiotemporal correlation, k-t GRAPPA has
the advantage of self-calibration, but degrades the
temporal resolution when acceleration factor is high.
Here we propose an artificial sparse scheme using static
tissue elimination scheme to improve the temporal
resolution preservation of k-t GRAPPA for blood flow
measurements of thoracic aorta.
