Spatiotemporal undersampling methods allow for significant speed-up of image acquisition. This work aims at providing an analytical assessment of noise behavior and temporal fidelity of k-t SENSE and k-t PCA. The g-factor formalism introduced for parallel imaging (SENSE, GRAPPA) is extended to the temporal frequency domain. Using in-vivo data it is demonstrated that the proposed g-factor shows good agreement with results obtained by pseudo-replica analysis for both k-t SENSE and k-t PCA, and also matches the temporal transfer function for k-t SENSE.
