Based on the acquisition trajectory, PROPELLER MRI repeatedly sampled the center k-space in every blade, which was used to provide most of the energy of an image. The purpose of view sharing PROPELLER is to improve the spatio-temporal resolution of dynamic imaging by reducing the acquisition time of single frame to that of single blade. With the center k-space provided by only one blade, which is called the target blade, the high spatial-frequency components were appropriately contributed by a set of neighboring blades with different rotation angles, leading to the high spatial resolution after reconstruction.
In this study, a flow phantom experiment with the injection of T1-shortening Gd-DTPA solution was performed to exam the feasibility and accuracy of view-sharing PROPELLER. Furthermore, cardiac imaging of healthy volunteer obtained by the proposed technique was also done with ECG gating to test the image quality without any injection of contrast agent. The in-vivo experiment was done with and without breath holding. In addition to slight aliasing artifact due to insufficient FOV, no other artifact was observed.
