Fast dynamic imaging using two reference images

This paper presents a fast dynamic imaging method which is characterized by the acquisition of two high‐resolution reference images and a sequence of low‐resolution dynamic data sets. Image reconstruction is accomplished using a generalized series based algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that dynamic images with high temporal resolution can be obtained while maintaining excellent spatial resolution. This method will be useful for a variety of dynamic imaging applications including contrast‐enhanced dynamic imaging and functional brain studies.
