OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of using a two-dimensional partial Fourier (PF) reconstruction scheme to reduce the acquisition time of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of coronary arteries. METHODS Symmetric k-space data sets of coronary arteries were collected in seven volunteers using a three-dimensional breath-hold steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence. Partial, asymmetric k-space data sets were generated by removing 25% of the data in the readout direction and 25% of the data in the phase encoding direction. The missing data were then estimated using a two-dimensional projection-onto-convex-sets (POCS) algorithm or filled with zeroes. Images were reconstructed from the full data set, the PF data set, and the zero-filled (ZF) data set, respectively. Coronary artery sharpness was evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively. RESULTS Coronary artery sharpness in PF images was comparable to that in full k-space images and significantly better than that in ZF images. CONCLUSIONS Two-dimensional POCS PF reconstruction is a potentially useful technique for reducing acquisition time or improving spatial resolution for breath-hold coronary MR angiography.

D005583 Fourier Analysis Analysis based on the mathematical function first formulated by Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier in 1807. The function, known as the Fourier transform, describes the sinusoidal pattern of any fluctuating pattern in the physical world in terms of its amplitude and its phase. It has broad applications in biomedicine, e.g., analysis of the x-ray crystallography data pivotal in identifying the double helical nature of DNA and in analysis of other molecules, including viruses, and the modified back-projection algorithm universally used in computerized tomography imaging, etc. (From Segen, The Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Fourier Series,Fourier Transform,Analysis, Cyclic,Analysis, Fourier,Cyclic Analysis,Analyses, Cyclic,Cyclic Analyses,Series, Fourier,Transform, Fourier
