Abstract:
Cardiac MR cine imaging during breath hold is a compromise between spatial and temporal resolution and duration of breath hold. Especially for sick patients who have problems holding their breath, a short acquisition time is mandatory for all sequences. A combination of Auto-SENSE parallel imaging and view-sharing was implemented for fast cine imaging of the human heart and applied to healthy volunteers. Compared to conventional Fourier imaging, data acquisition could be accelerated by a factor of 3.6. Neither a pre-scan nor additional lines in k-space are required to generate the sensitivity maps in Auto-SENSE.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
