Long scan duration limits the usage of cine MRI methods
in mice. We employed spatiotemporal compressed sensing
and parallel imaging to accelerate retrospectively-gated
cine MRI of mouse hearts. We found that the scan time
for the whole heart could be reduced to one minute when
using radial sampling. The accuracy in the estimation of
left and right ventricular volumes was preserved for all
tested subjects. This method can be used to perform fast
and accurate functional MRI exams in mice.
