The feasibility of rapid free-breathing coronary MRA
with isotropic spatial resolution was demonstrated at
different acceleration rates using a joint multicoil
compressed sensing reconstruction (Sparse-SENSE) with a
3D radial phyllotaxis trajectory. Respiratory motion
correction was implemented in radial k-space before
reconstruction to achieve 100% acquisition efficiency.
Results with adequate image quality can be achieved by
using data acquired in only 144 heartbeats, which
corresponds to a total acquisition time of approximately
2 minutes. The proposed method can be a potentially
useful tool for free-breathing coronary MRA in
clinically acceptable scan times.
