A novel coronary imaging method that allows cardiac
motion assessment within the acquisition window of the
k-space segmented volume has recently been proposed
using 3D stack-of-stars (SOS) with golden-angle-derived
interleaving for encoding temporal information within
different segments of the acquisition window. However,
non-Cartesian radial reconstructions are typically
unsuitable for immediate visualization due to the
computationally expensive gridding operation. This step
may bottleneck the visualization and disturb the
workflow for interactive clinical assessment. We have
developed an accelerated reconstruction workflow that
uses a graphic processing unit (GPU) for rapid gridding
of the acquired radial data, and examine its
implementation and performance.
