Cine-MRI is a well-established tool to assess global cardiac function in rodent models of cardiovascular disease. 3D techniques provide improved signal-to-noise, which could be utilized to increase spatial and / or temporal resolution at the cost of increased acquisition time. The aim of this study was to develop optimised compressed sensing reconstruction as an approach to accelerate 3D cine-MRI in mice at 9.4T. Fully sampled 3D cine data sets acquired in three normal mice were up to 15-fold undersampled in post-processing and subjected to compressed sensing reconstruction, using algorithms with and without additional Total Variation constraint. Low RMSE-values even for high acceleration factors (R=15) indicated that compressed sensing enables significant time savings in 3D cine acquisitions.
