Fast dynamic imaging using two reference images

Magn Reson Med. 1996 Jul;36(1):172-5. doi: 10.1002/mrm.1910360127.

Abstract

This paper presents a fast dynamic imaging method which is characterized by the acquisition of two high-resolution reference images and a sequence of low-resolution dynamic data sets. Image reconstruction is accomplished using a generalized series based algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that dynamic images with high temporal resolution can be obtained while maintaining excellent spatial resolution. This method will be useful for a variety of dynamic imaging applications including contrast-enhanced dynamic imaging and functional brain studies.
