We combine the Variable density Incoherent Spatio-Temporal Acquisition (VISTA) sampling pattern with the Fast Iterative Shrinkage Thresholding Algorithm (FISTA) implementation of SPIRiT to achieve online real-time, free-breathing cardiac cine imaging at sub 30ms temporal resolution. We test our method in six healthy volunteers. Visual scoring compared to conventional segmented techniques show little degradation in artifacts, temporal fidelity, and image quality. EDV and ESV measurements from segmented and real-time data show mean differences of 2.20% and 3.83% respectively. Reconstruction times of less than one minute within the Gadgetron framework promise a clinically practical implementation of this technique.
