[Abstract] Objective To explore the influence of different acceleration factors (AF) of compressed sensing (CS) on the quality of lumbar MRI images.Materials and Methods Thirty-two subjects (twelve males) were recruited with an average age of (45.28±14.11) years. The sagittal T1WI, T2WI, and axial T2WI sequences of the lumbar spine were scanned with 3.0 T MR equipment through the sensitivity encoding (SENSE), and CS technology for AF=0, SENSE AF=2, CS AF=2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Two radiologists delineated the region of interest (ROI) on the sagittal T1WI, T2WI and transverse T2WI to measure the signal intensity (SI) and standard deviation (SD). Then we calculated the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR). Finally, subjective score of image quality was assessed by five points method. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and Kappa test was adopted to evaluate the consistency of the scores from the two radiologists. In the following analysis, the ANOVA test was used to assess the difference of SNR, CNR and score between groups.Results The measured datas and the subjective score of the two radiologists were in good agreement (ICC: 0.878-0.997, Kappa: 0.763-0.948). It was shown that there were statistically significant differences in SNR, CNR and subjective score of sagittal T1WI, T2WI and transverse T2WI sequences. If the CS equaled 4, the SNR, CNR and subjective score of sagittal T1WI and T2WI were significantly different from those of conventional sequences (P＜0.05). If the CS equaled 3, the SNR, CNR and subjective score of axial T2WI were significantly different from conventional sequences (P＜0.05).Conclusions Scan time for the lumbar spine decreased gradually with increase of the CS AF. CS factor of 3 was recommended for clinical sagittal T1WI and T2WI, and CS factor of 2 was best for clinical transverse T2WI to achieve an optimal balance between scan time and image quality.
