Reconstruction Techniques for Accelerating Dynamic Cardiac MRI.

Achieving sufficient spatial and temporal resolution for dynamic applications in cardiac MRI is a challenging task due to the inherently slow nature of MR imaging. In order to accelerate scans and allow improved resolution, much research over the past three decades has been aimed at developing innovative reconstruction methods that can yield high-quality images from reduced amounts of k-space data. In this review, we describe the evolution of these reconstruction techniques, with a particular focus on those advances that have shifted the dynamic reconstruction paradigm as it relates to cardiac MRI. This review discusses and explains the fundamental ideas behind the success of modern reconstruction algorithms, including parallel imaging, spatio-temporal redundancies, compressed sensing, low-rank methods and machine learning.
