abstract = {The purpose of this study is to improve direct phosphorus
((31)P) MR imaging. Therefore, 3D density-adapted
radially-sampled balanced steady-state free precession
(bSSFP) sequences were developed and an iterative approach
exploiting additional anatomical information from hydrogen
((1)H) data was evaluated. Three healthy volunteers were
examined at B0=7T in order to obtain the spatial
distribution of the phosphocreatine (PCr) intensities in the
human calf muscle with a nominal isotropic resolution of
10mm in an acquisition time of 10min. Three different bSSFP
gradient schemes were investigated. The highest
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was obtained for a scheme with
two point-reflected density-adapted gradients. Furthermore,
the conventional reconstruction based on a gridding
algorithm was compared to an iterative method using an (1)H
MRI constraint in terms of a segmented binary mask, which
comprises prior knowledge. The parameters of the iterative
approach were optimized and evaluated by simulations
featuring (31)P MRI parameters. Thereby, partial volume
effects as well as Gibbs ringing artifacts could be reduced.
In conclusion, the iterative reconstruction of (31)P bSSFP
data using an (1)H MRI constraint is appropriate for
investigating regions where sharp tissue boundaries occur
and leads to images that represent the real PCr
distributions better than conventionally reconstructed
images.},
