To address the tradeoff of spatial and temporal resolution in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, schemes using pseudorandom trajectories and view-sharing (VS) have been proposed. Compressed sensing (CS) has shown promise to reduce VS and temporal footprint in these schemes. However, validating these techniques and determining a reduced temporal footprint is challenging without a ground truth. We present a novel approach that uses variable flip angle (VFA) acquisition and retrospectively applies sampling and CS/VS schemes to fully-sampled VFA data, allowing comparison with a ground truth in vivo. Results suggest that CS reconstruction with reduced VS data is a suitable alternative to VS.
