In this study, we evaluate the usage of Parallel Imaging and Compressed Sensing to accelerate a recently proposed four dimensional, non-breath-hold, multiphase steady-state imaging technique (MUSIC), in hope to decrease acquisition time and increase temporal resolution. Based on initial experience on nine pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, accelerated MUSIC has similar image quality with half acquisition time, compared with original MUSIC. Image reconstruction is implemented in C/C++ that allows clinically acceptable reconstruction time, make it feasible for practical usage.
