Resolving arterial phase and temporal enhancement characteristics in DCE MRM at high spatial resolution with TWIST acquisition

To investigate the potential of a view‐sharing 3D fast gradient‐echo sequence using pseudo random trajectories (TWIST) to achieve very short acquisition times with high in‐plane resolution and good volume coverage and its application to dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
