CEST-MRI is a promising molecular imaging technique
while suffers from long scan time and low
contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in clinical use. In this
study, we proposed the use of compressed sensing (CS) to
accelerate the CEST-MRI at 3T. Full-sampled CEST-MRI
data of in vivo human brain were retrospectively
under-sampled and reconstructed up to a reduction factor
of four. The CS-reconstructed magnetization transfer
ratio asymmetry and ΔB0 maps showed excellent
consistency with those using normal reconstruction from
full samples. Goodness-of-fit of the CS-reconstructed
Z-spectrum fitting was even better than the fully
sampled one.
