Imaging speed is of critical importance in many clinical applications of magnetic resonance imaging. Cardiac imaging, for example, must contend with the challenges of cardiac motion, respiratory motion, and blood flow. Parallel imaging (PI) is a well-established technique to accelerate the data acquisition in MRI, by using arrays of radiofrequency receiver coils that provide the additional encoding capabilities needed to reconstruct an image from undersampled datasets. Another approach for accelerated imaging is the application of compressed sensing (CS), which was recently introduced into the MRI field to exploit the compressibility of biomedical images. Instead of acquiring the fully-sampled image and compressing it afterwards (standard compression), CS applies the fact than an image is usually sparse under an appropriate basis and reconstructs this sparse representation from undersampled data. In this project, a combination of compressed sensing and parallel imaging is developed to achieve previously inaccessible combinations of temporal resolution, spatial resolution and spatial coverage.
