Magnetic Resonance Electrical Properties Tomography (MREPT) technique is used to obtain conductivity (σ) and permittivity (ε), using phase of the B1+ information. While spin echo and bSSFP based pulse sequences were shown to successfully obtain phase images, they are either very slow or suffer from artifacts and require multi-acquisitions. To overcome these limitations, in this work we investigate the use of spiral trajectory-based sequences in MREPT. Our results indicate that even for sub-second acquisition times, conductivity maps can be successfully acquired via spiral trajectory-based sequence, and therefore can improve the utility of MREPT techniques by shortening the acquisition time drastically.
