Slice-encoding metal artifact correction (SEMAC) affords
powerful metal artifact reduction, but may be considered
impractical due to long acquisition times. The inherent
sparsity of SEMAC data, however, offers potential for
substantial acceleration through the use of
pseudo-randomized k-space undersampling and iterative
reconstruction. We show the clinical usability of a
highly accelerated TSE SEMAC sequence prototype
employing incoherent k-space undersampling and iterative
reconstruction resulting in shortening of the
acquisition time by 50-60% when compared to standard TSE
SEMAC sequences and comparable image quality.
