Although 3D non-Cartesian trajectories allow fast whole-heart coronary angiography, further improvement in speed can be achieved with parallel imaging. However, this is challenging for large 3D non-Cartesian datasets due to the high computational demand of operations such as gridding. In this work, a multi-threaded version of L1-SPIRiT is presented and tested on different undersampled variable-density trajectories showing the ability to increase image resolution while maintaining the same scan time.
