We sought to improve our previously described rapid real-time cine MRI with Cartesian undersampling and temporal total variation (TTV) constraint reconstruction by using a combination of radial k-space sampling and block-wise low-rank (BWLR) constraint. We imaged a resolution phantom, and our results show that BWLR produces 76% higher effective spatial resolution than TTV. We imaged 14 patients and 1 volunteer. Our experiments show that, compared with TTV, BWLR yields 17% higher effective spatial resolution without sacrificing diagnostic confidence determined by 2 cardiologists.
