Ultrashort echo time (UTE) imaging has shown promise for imaging tissues with ultrashort T2 values. UTE with a 3D radial trajectory requires π times the number of phase-encodings as the Cartesian counterpart, requiring long scan times. Practically, ~π times undersampling can be used for acceleration without noticeable streak aliasing artifacts with gridding reconstruction. However, the undersampling-induced aliasing results in noise-like artifacts. We propose using L1-ESPIRiT on 3D UTE for effectively removing streak and noise-like undersampling artifacts, and allowing for high acceleration factors with robustness. The in vivo applications for brain imaging shows the benefits of L1-ESPIRiT for 3D UTE.
