Although 3D non-contrast high-resolution black-blood MRI (DANTE-SPACE) is a promising tool for the surveillance of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), it requires lengthy scans (~7 minutes). We implemented a compressed sensing method (CS-DANTE-SPACE) to reduce the scan time by 41% (to ~4 minutes), and tested its feasibility in 20 AAA patients undergoing routine follow-up. We found CS-DANTE-SPACE achieved accurate diameter/area measurements and intraluminal thrombus (ILT) identification, and provided better contrast and vessel sharpness. CS-DANTE-SPACE is a promising tool for AAA surveillance in the clinical setting.
