In this work we present a reconstruction technique based on $$$k$$$-space subtraction of static image parts to acquire real-time cardiac images. The static part is estimated with a sliding window reconstruction of the region outside of the heart to account for respiratory motion. The reduced field of view, i.e. the region of interest, is then reconstructed using a standard SENSE reconstruction, resulting in a temporal resolution of under 40 ms. The image quality is sufficient to estimate functional values in accordance with the BH-CINE reference standard.
