Excerpt
Parallel imaging can reduce scan time with typical reduction factors of ~2, often not sufficient to reduce scan time to breath hold duration. Spatiotemporal parallel imaging such as k-t-GRAPPA allows for a significantly higher speed-up in data acquisition, but previous studies mostly acquired full k-space data while removing data retrospectively. Here, aortic flow scans were acquired during breath-hold using kt-GRAPPA based reconstruction [
