Recently, a well-established parallel imaging technique GRAPPA, has been successfully extended to radial imaging via an improved calibration scheme that extends the calibration to the time dimension (through-time radial GRAPPA calibration), and has demonstrated high acceleration factors in real-time imaging. The current study aims to eliminate calibration scans while preserving image quality. A novel self-calibration method is proposed and validated in real-time cardiac imaging in swine and normal subjects. Parameters related to self-calibration are explored for optimal image reconstruction of high acceleration rates (R=9-12).
