First-pass cardiac perfusion MRI demands fast imaging techniques to achieve high spatial resolution and coverage within a small acquisition window. We recently developed a CS method BLOSM to accelerate first-pass perfusion with respiratory motions, and demonstrated the advantages of BLOSM using retrospectively-undersampled first-pass data. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate prospectively-accelerated BLOSM first-pass images in patients with suspected heart disease. Using prospectively accelerated data, BLOSM showed improved reconstruction quality compared to k-t SLR. BLOSM may provide clinically acceptable image quality at higher acceleration rates such as 6, even with the presence of respiratory motion.
