We present a general low-rank tensor framework for high-dimensional cardiac imaging, modeling the underlying image as partially separable in all relevant dimensions: space, cardiac phase, respiratory phase, wall-clock time (e.g., for contrast agent dynamics), variable sequence parameters (e.g., inversion time), etc. An explicit-subspace variant of the framework is demonstrated, with subspaces estimated from navigator data and a signal recovery dictionary of solutions to the Bloch equations (similar to MR fingerprinting). This variant is used to perform ECG-less cardiac- and time-resolved T₁ mapping during first-pass perfusion, as well as free-breathing, ECG-less native T₁ mapping at multiple cardiac phases. The framework shows promise for time-resolved T₁ mapping and other high-dimensional applications.
