Visualization of acute radiofrequency lesions in the heart is a key point to assess the endpoint of catheter-based anti-arrhythmic therapy. Albeit 3D navigated T1-weighted sequences have proven there reliability to delineate lesion cores and edema, these sequences remain too lengthy/insufficiently spatially resolved to be used clinically. In this study we investigated the benefit of combining 3D T1-weighted acquisition with compressed sensing acceleration to reduce acquisition duration while maintaining sufficient spatial resolution to visualize the core of the lesion and surrounding edema. Methods are evaluated with/without gadolinium injection with different inversion times in vivo in the heart of swine.
