Abstract

Keyhole imaging is a scheme introduced to improve temporal resolution in dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI by a factor of four or more. A “full” acquisition before contrast administration is followed by truncated acquisitions sensitive primarily to changes in image contrast. Simulations of the point‐spread functions that obtain, and their effect on contrast and spatial resolution, reveal significant degradation only for the smallest objects. Our simulations also address the feasibility of three‐dimensional keyhole imaging, and demonstrate a potential 16‐fold increase in temporal resolution. This suggests roles for keyhole imaging in conventional (nondynamic) precon‐trast and postcontrast studies and other applications.

## Abstract Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging methods with good spatial and contrast resolution are often too slow to follow the uptake of contrast agents with the desired temporal resolution. Imaging can be accelerated by skipping the acquisition of data normally taken with strong phase‐encoding gra

## Abstract A wide variety of techniques have been proposed recently to improve the temporal resolution of MRI. These include echo‐planar imaging methods, wavelet encoding, singular value decomposition encoding, and k‐space sharing methods known as „keyhole”︁ imaging. In this work, we use a simulat
