Inversion-prepared b-SSFP imaging is a suitable approach
to perform non-contrast-enhanced (non-CE) MR angiography
(MRA) of the renal arteries. The current study aims at a
radical acceleration of the data acquisition by
combining sparse, incoherent sampling with
L1-regularized iterative SENSE reconstruction. Non-CE
MRA was performed in 20 healthy volunteers with
sub-sampling rates of 6.4, 9.0 and 11.5 and compared to
a reference protocol with rate 2 GRAPPA acceleration. In
comparison to the reference protocol, the proposed
highly accelerated imaging method performed very
competitively with acceleration rates up to 9 with
radical data acquisition time reductions up to a factor
of 5.
