To accelerate whole-heart magnetic resonance angiography, we implemented a variable density Poisson disc undersampling pattern and compressed sensing parallel image reconstruction, and compared it to a standard parallel image (SENSE) acquisition in 15 patients. The compressed sensing technique was faster (mean 3.4±1.0 minutes vs 7.6±1.7 minutes) and had similar objectively measured sharpness in 4 designated regions (all p>0.05) but a lower subjective image quality scores (all p≤0.05).
