Compressed sensing with signal averaging for improved sensitivity and motion artifact reduction in fluorine-19 MRI

Jérôme Yerly, Ruud van Heeswijk, Elena Najdenovska, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert

Fluorine-19 (F-19) MRI of injected perfluorocarbon emulsions (PFCs) allows for the non-invasive quantification of inflammation and cell tracking, but suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio and extended scan time. To address this limitation, we tested the ...
