Figure 2

Initial results of dual-slice-k-t reconstructions. The images show the two simultaneously acquired spatio-temporally undersampled slices unfolded using the proposed method. Magnitude and phase contrast images are shown for a single heart phase. Flow curves through the ascending aorta (AAo) in slice 1 and the descending aorta (DAo) in slices 1 and 2 are shown. The fully sampled (R=1), the single slice k-t SENSE accelerated (R=3.6) and the dual slice (R=7.2) flow curves are shown. Root mean squared errors (RMSE) with respect to the reference data are shown for the accelerated techniques in ml/s as well as in percentage of the maximum flow.
