We have achieved highly accelerated 3D dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) wrist MRI in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients with improved image spatial (0.3x0.3x1.5mm) and temporal resolution (5s), with an acceleration factor R=20. Evaluation of neovascularization and perfusion in RA joints demonstrated that the improved images could provide accurate assessment of the RA progression.
