We sought to improve our previously described rapid
real-time cine MRI with Cartesian undersampling and
temporal total variation (TTV) constraint reconstruction
by using a combination of radial k-space sampling and
block-wise low-rank (BWLR) constraint. We imaged a
resolution phantom, and our results show that BWLR
produces 76% higher effective spatial resolution than
TTV. We imaged 14 patients and 1 volunteer. Our
experiments show that, compared with TTV, BWLR yields
17% higher effective spatial resolution without
sacrificing diagnostic confidence determined by 2
cardiologists.
