Compressed sensing (CS) has the potential to drastically reduce MR acquisition times, however image quality of prospectively implemented CS is not as good as predicted by retrospectively under-sampled data. This may be due to the sensitivity of appropriate (randomized) CS k-space sampling to eddy currents. We show the existence of these detrimental interactions in full but randomly-sampled k-space, and quantify these interactions in under-sampled CS image reconstruction. We demonstrate how sorting the acquisition order to minimize the total k-space trajectory length mitigates this issue and improves image quality.
