Accelerated quantitative 3D UTE-Cones imaging with compressed sensing reconstruction is feasible for parameter mapping of in vivo human knee joints at various undersampling rates.
Compressed sensing reconstruction may enable accelerated quantitative 3D UTE-Cones imaging for evaluating human knee joint tissues.
Quantitative ultrashort echo time (qUTE) imaging suffers from long acquisition time due to multiple acquisitions required for parameter estimation. In this study, feasibility of accelerated qUTE Cones imaging with compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction is investigated for fast variable flip angle UTE-T 1 mapping, adiabatic UTE-T 1 mapping, and UTE quantitative magnetization transfer (MT) modelling of macromolecular fraction (MMF). We explored these biomarkers for qUTE-Cones imaging of in vivo human knee joints at various undersampling rates. The performance of CS-reconstruction and parameter mapping was evaluated in tendons, ligaments, menisci, and cartilage.
