The feasibility of rapid free-breathing coronary MRA with isotropic spatial resolution was demonstrated at different acceleration rates using a joint multicoil compressed sensing reconstruction (Sparse-SENSE) with a 3D radial phyllotaxis trajectory. Respiratory motion correction was implemented in radial k-space before reconstruction to achieve 100% acquisition efficiency. Results with adequate image quality can be achieved by using data acquired in only 144 heartbeats, which corresponds to a total acquisition time of approximately 2 minutes. The proposed method can be a potentially useful tool for free-breathing coronary MRA in clinically acceptable scan times.
