Reducing acquisition time in magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) improves signal to noise ratio and temporal resolution of measured conductivity data. On the other hand, the reconstruction accuracy of MREIT can be improved by acquiring multiple data using different current injection patterns, which in turn increases the total scan time. In this study, a novel pulse sequence is proposed to reduce the scan time in MREIT by injecting two current patterns in a single acquisition. This method is experimentally realized using a physical phantom, and its feasibility is evaluated.
