Modern imaging techniques for Dynamic Contrast Enhanced
MR Imaging (DCE-MRI) can achieve high temporal
resolution by exploiting correlation between different
time-points in the reconstruction. In order to reduce
the vast number of images as well as the reconstruction
time while keeping the relevant clinical information, we
propose to use a variable temporal resolution for the
reconstructed time-points. Specifically, this is
implemented for Golden-Angle Radial Sparse Parallel
DCE-MRI and illustrated for prostate and liver imaging.
In these applications the time resolution is critical in
the initial phase after contrast injection and less
important for the pre-contrast and later phases.
