Current acquisition strategies in cardiac perfusion MRI rely on non-uniform sampling that is highly undersampled in spatial and temporal domains. While iterative reconstruction methods are able to reconstruct such data reasonably well, reconstruction speeds are prohibitively long. This abstract applies novel deep learning approaches to accelerate reconstruction speeds relative to iterative algorithms with comparable image quality. Validation is performed through the calculation of a perfusion index.
