Motivated by the changing sensitivity maps due to exaggerated chest wall motion in real-time stress cardiac MRI (CMR), we utilize ESPIRiT-based multiple sets of sensitivity maps in a SENSE-based reconstruction method to reduce image artifact. The proposed method was tested on twelve volunteers and compared with the images reconstructed using a temporally invariant single set of sensitivity maps as well as a temporally varying single set of sensitivity maps. It was demonstrated that using multiple sets of sensitivity maps leads to significant reduction in image artifact.
