Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) imaging requires high spatial and temporal resolution and large volume coverage; traditionally, these are mutually exclusive. We present prospective undersampled DCE imaging of brain tumors with high spatiotemporal resolution using l1-SPIRiT (compressed sensing and parallel imaging). We employ multiple spatial and temporal reconstruction constraints, including a novel temporal constraint that promotes low frequency signal changes, to achieve high accelerations without compromising resolution or dynamic information.
