Minimizing echo and repetition times in magnetic resonance imaging using a double half‐echo k‐space acquisition and low‐rank reconstruction
2020
Sampling k-space asymmetrically (ie, partial Fourier sampling) in the readout direction is a common way to reduce the echo time (TE) during magnetic resonance image acquisitions. This technique requires overlap around the center of k-space to provide a calibration region for reconstruction, which limits the minimum fractional echo to ~60% before artifacts are observed. The present study describes a method for reconstructing images from exact half echoes using two separate acquisitions with reversed readout polarity, effectively providing a full line of k-space without additional data around central k-space. This approach can benefit sequences or applications that prioritize short TE, short inter-echo spacing or short repetition time. An example of the latter is demonstrated to reduce banding artifacts in balanced steady-state free precession.
