Clinical CE-MRA of the abdomen is limited in spatial resolution/coverage, or is excessively time consuming. We implemented a compressed sensing (CS) steady state MRA technique with an acceleration factor of 25, achievable in a 15 second breath hold, with 0.8mm isotropic resolution and a large 48cm coverage. In an investigation on 13 patients, we found CS-MRA had higher image quality scores and vessel sharpness compared with free breathing high-resolution MRA and clinical breath hold low-resolution MRA, with a reduced scan time. Our proposed CS-MRA technique is promising for the evaluation of abdominal vessels.
