title: Reduction of field of view for dynamic imaging.
abstract: This paper describes a simple technique that improves the temporal resolution for certain dynamic imaging applications. The technique is based on the assumption that the image to image intensity changes sought in dynamic imaging studies are sometimes localized, and a smaller field of view can be used to reduce imaging time. Technical details and experimental results are presented. Experimental results show that this technique works reasonably well for in vivo applications.
