We present a method for accelerating the acquisition of phase-encoded velocity images by the use of compressed sensing (CS), a technique that exploits the observation that an under-sampled signal can be accurately reconstructed by utilising the prior knowledge that it is sparse or compressible. We present results of both simulated and experimental measurements of liquid flow through a packed bed of spherical glass beads. For this system, the best image reconstruction used a spatial finite-differences transform. The reconstruction was further improved by utilising prior knowledge of the liquid distribution within the image. Using this approach, we demonstrate that for a sampling fraction of similar to 30% of the full k-space data set, the velocity can be recovered with a relative error of 11%. which is below the visually detectable limit. Furthermore, the error in the total flow measured using the CS reconstruction is = 30%. Thus, quantitative velocity images were obtained in a third of the acquisition time required using conventional imaging. The reduction in data acquisition time can also be exploited in acquiring images at a higher spatial resolution, which increases the accuracy of the measurements by reducing errors arising from partial volume effects. To illustrate this, the CS algorithm was used to reconstruct gas-phase velocity images at a spatial resolution of 230 mu m x 230 mu m. Images at this spatial resolution are prohibitively time-consuming to acquire using full k-space sampling techniques. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
