Abstract

Systems and methods for accelerated multi-contrast PROPELLER are disclosed herein. K-space is sampled in a rotating fashion using a plurality of radially directed blades around a center of k-space. A first subset of blades is acquired for a first contrast and a second subset of blades is acquired for a second contrasts. The first subset of blades is combined with high frequency components of the second subset of blades to produce an image of the first contrast. And the second subset of blades are combined with high frequency components of the first subset of blades to produce an image of the second contrast.
