Synopsis

PROPELLER sequence is useful because of its robustness to patient motion. Longer acquisition than FSE is a major drawback limiting its wider application in clinical practice. Here, we propose an accelerated T1 weighted PROPELLER of the brain using deep learning based parallel imaging (PI) reconstruction. Our method can unfold highly undersampled aliased images (PI factor = 7), enabling 2.3 times faster acquisition than full-sampling. A preliminary reader study with prospectively undersampled data showed that the proposed method significantly outperformed a conventional SENSE reconstruction in terms of streak artifact.
