The aim of this study was to investigate the acceleration of peripheral Time-of-Flight magnetic resonance angiography using Compressed Sensing and parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) while preserving image quality and vascular contrast. An analytical sampling pattern is proposed that combines aspects of parallel MRI and Compressed Sensing. It is used in combination with a dedicated Split Bregman algorithm. This approach is compared with current state-of-the-art patterns and reconstruction algorithms. The acquisition time was reduced from 30 to 2.5 min in a study using ten volunteer data sets, while showing improved sharpness, better contrast and higher accuracy compared to state-of-the-art techniques. This study showed the benefits of the proposed dedicated analytical sampling pattern and Split Bregman algorithm for optimizing the Compressed Sensing reconstruction of highly accelerated peripheral Time-of-Flight data.
