The application of compressed sensing (CS) to Time-of-Flight MRA is usually 2D-based, although exploitation of 3D sparsity should perform better in principle. We performed CS with 4x accelerated data at 3.0T by the FCSA algorithm in both a 2D and 3D Wavelet and Total Variation reconstruction scheme. Among different results with varying weights for each priors, the best 2D and 3D-based images were subjectively selected. Images were evaluated by two radiologists, and visualization of clinically relevant structures were slightly superior for the best 3D-based image compared with best 2D-based image. Similarity measures were also in agreement with these results.
