Coronary artery imaging using three‐dimensional breath‐hold steady‐state free precession with two‐dimensional iterative partial fourier reconstruction

PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility of using a two-dimensional partial Fourier (PF) reconstruction scheme to reduce the acquisition time of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of coronary arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Symmetric k-space data sets of coronary arteries were collected in seven volunteers using a three-dimensional breath-hold steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence. Partial, asymmetric k-space data sets were generated by …
