Pediatric
neuro-oncological MRI benefited from compressed sensing in reduced scan
duration and better spatial resolution. Advantage for clinical practice has been
demonstrated with promise in shortened procedural time with comparable or even
improved image quality.
Figure 1. Selected examples of the pediatric
neuro-onco MRI exams in the current study comparing C-SENSE and conventional
scans.
Table 2. Spatial resolution improvement and scan duration reduction by C-SENSE in the pediatric neuro-onco MRI pulse sequences in comparison to the conventional scans. Details see text.
ACQ = Acquired; SENSE = SENSitivity Encoding; C-SENSE = Compressed SENSE; TFE = Turbo field echo; FLAIR = fluid attenuated inversion recovery; TSE = Turbo spin echo.
