Compressed sensing (CS) may be useful for accelerating
data acquisitions in high-resolution fMRI. Most of the
existing CS-fMRI studies have been conducted with
synthesized experiments where fully sampled k-space data
were retrospectively down-sampled. However, it is
diļ¬cult to determine pulse sequence-dependent artifacts
as well as potential advantages of improved temporal
resolutions using retrospective analyses. Here, we
systematically investigated the properties of CS-fMRI
using computer simulations and in vivo experiments of
rat forepaw and odor stimulations with 2-dimensional
gradient-recalled echo (GRE) and echo planar imaging
sequences. Our results show that CS improves the
statistical performance of fMR with negligible image
artifacts.
