Excerpt
To improve the image quality and increase the signal-noise-ratio of real-time exercise stress cardiac cine imaging, we extended the recently proposed SPIRIT image reconstruction by incorporating temporal coil sensitivity estimation and spatial regularization. The proposed method was tested on 10 volunteers and the average SNR gain was 38.2% without increasing ghosting artifacts. …
