Coronary MRA is an attractive imaging tool to offer noninvasive, radiation-free evaluation of coronary artery disease. However, long scan time and sensitivity to motion limit its current clinical applications. In this paper, we propose a super resolution reconstruction framework based on 3D generative adversarial network (GAN) to allow substantial acceleration (10x plus) and potentially whole-heart coronary MRA within a breath-hold. Preliminary results demonstrated significantly improved vessel sharpness and image quality metrics in highly under-sampled coronary MRA dataset.
