5D whole-heart sparse MRI.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A 5D whole-heart sparse imaging framework is proposed for simultaneous assessment of myocardial function and high-resolution cardiac and respiratory motion-resolved whole-heart anatomy in a single continuous noncontrast MR scan.

Methods

A non-electrocardiograph (ECG)-triggered 3D golden-angle radial balanced steady-state free precession sequence was used for data acquisition. The acquired 3D k-space data were sorted into a 5D dataset containing separated cardiac and respiratory dimensions using a self-extracted respiratory motion signal and a recorded ECG signal. Images were then reconstructed using XD-GRASP, a multidimensional compressed sensing technique exploiting correlations/sparsity along cardiac and respiratory dimensions. 5D whole-heart imaging was compared w
