We investigated a new cardiac imaging technique that uses k-t parallel imaging reconstruction in an undersampled wavelet-space for real-time free-breathing data acquisition. This technique decomposes the original cardiac data into a series of multi-scale k-t data with a small frequency bandwidth using real-time wavelet decomposition filters. The bandwidth reduction allows for the use of neighboring time frames in wavelet-space k-t reconstruction, providing an approach to improving SNR without a considerable loss of dynamic information. The feasibility of this approach is demonstrated.
