Compressed sensing (CS) technique was introduced in this study in order to improve the temporal resolution in Dynamic Contrast-enhanced MR imaging. A real pulse sequence was modified with CS MRI scheme with undersampling in phase encoding, resulting in 2x, 3x, 4x, and 8x accelerations. Actual high temporal resolution was achieved, which could contribute more creditable quantitative renal perfusion measurements. In addition, the contrast-to-noise ratio of reconstructed images was effectively improved.
