Synopsis

We previously applied a radially-sampled RARE-EPI hybrid for simultaneous T2 and T2* mapping (2in1-RARE-EPI) in patients with multiple sclerosis, which reduced the scan time to 77% compared to Multi-Spin-Echo (MSE) and Multi-Gradient-Recalled-Echo (MGRE). Here we examine the potential for further acceleration utilizing a compressed sensing reconstruction of highly undersampled 2in1-RARE-EPI data. The accelerated T2 and T2* mapping is benchmarked against the MSE and MGRE references using regression and Bland-Altman plot analysis and the mean absolute percentage error. Our results show that an undersampling factor of 8-12 is feasible, achieving an acquisition time reduction to 23-17% compared to the references.
