Coronary phase contrast MRI for accurate measurement of coronary blood flow requires high spatial resolution due to the small vessel size, and high temporal resolution due to cardiac motion, especially of the right coronary artery (RCA). This study uses golden angle rotated spiral k-t sparse parallel imaging (GASSP) to accelerate the acquisition to achieve both high spatial and high temporal resolution in a breath-hold. GASSP was validated in the stationary popliteal artery (knee) and then implemented in the RCA. GASSP achieved high image quality throughout the cardiac cycle and popliteal peak velocity and mean-square error compared favorably to gold standard.
