Although dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI has been successfully applied for characterizing coronary artery diseases, an acquisition scheme limited to 2-4 short axis slices restricts coverage of the left ventricle. Radial simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) has been shown to improve DCE cardiac perfusion by providing complete coverage of the left ventricle but also requires an increase in reconstruction time. Here we propose using a 3D residual booster U-Net to improve reconstruction time of spatio-temporal constrained reconstruction methods for radial SMS datasets. Results demonstrate promising improvements with a speed up in reconstruction by a factor of ~200.
