title: Auto-SENSE view-sharing cine cardiac imaging.
abstract: Cardiac MR cine imaging during breath hold is a compromise between spatial and temporal resolution and duration of breath hold. Especially for sick patients who have problems holding their breath, a short acquisition time is mandatory for all sequences. A combination of Auto-SENSE parallel imaging and view-sharing was implemented for fast cine imaging of the human heart and applied to healthy volunteers. Compared to conventional Fourier imaging, data acquisition could be accelerated by a factor of 3.6. Neither a pre-scan nor additional lines in k-space are required to generate the sensitivity maps in Auto-SENSE.
