Compressed SENSE (CSENSE) is a novel method to combine Sensitivity Encoding (SENSE) and compressed sensing for rapid MR imaging. CSENSE can achieve a reduction factor higher than those achieved by SENSE while preserving the image quality by the denoising effect with iterations. In this work, CSENSE was applied to 3.0T free-breathing whole-heart coronary MRA to reduce the acquisition time. As compared to the conventional acquisition method using SENSE, CSENSE allows for up to 2.5-fold reduction of acquisition time without significant degradation of image quality of whole-heart coronary MRA at 3.0T, especially after the contrast injection.
