A silent gradient axis driven at 20 kHz can be used to decrease acoustic noise and increase patient comfort in MR-exams. However, the speed of this silent acquisition is determined by the amount of data needed for artifact free reconstructions. In this work, we present a framework for increasing the time efficiency while maintaining image quality of silent imaging with a silent gradient axis. We show that, by using a generalized conjugate gradient SENSE reconstruction, a 2-3-fold decrease in scan time is feasible both on a phantom and in-vivo.
