We adopted several temporal acceleration methods to
investigate the feasibility of accelerating black blood
vessel wall DCE-MRI in small animal with early lesion in
the abdominal artery. Both numerical simulation data and
in-vivo data were adopted in this study. The results
showed that the higher temporal resolution due to the
acceleration would provide more accurate kinetic
parameter evaluation without sacrificing much image
quality.
