✦ Synopsis

The purpose of this study was to investigate the trabecular structure of the endocardial wall of the living human heart, and the effect of that structure on the measurement of myocardial function using MRI. High-resolution MR images (0.8 x 0.8 x 8 mm voxels) of cardiac function were obtained in five volunteers using a combination of undersampled projection reconstruction (PR) and steady-state free precession (SSFP) contrast in ECG-gated breath-held scans. These images provide movies of cardiac function with new levels of endocardial detail. The trabecular-papillary muscle complex, consisting of a mixture of blood and endocardial structures, is measured to constitute as much as 50% of the myocardial wall in some sectors. Myocardial wall strain measurements derived from tagged MR images show correlation between regions of trabeculae and papillary muscles and regions of high strain, leading to an overestimation of function in the lateral wall.

This work describes a technique that combines multishot echo-planar imaging (EPI) with steady-state free precession (SSFP, also known as TrueFISP, FIESTA, and balanced FFE) for multislice, cine MR imaging of the heart. Unlike recently reported methods, the technique presented here (FIESTA-ET) is hig

## Abstract Coronary artery imaging data are conventionally acquired in a single imaging frame during mid‐diastole. The data acquisition window must be sufficiently short to avoid cardiac motion artifacts. A short data acquisition window results in decreased imaging efficiency and limited spatial r

## Abstract In __k__‐__t__ BLAST and __k__‐__t__ SENSE, data acquisition is accelerated by sparsely sampling __k__‐space over time. This undersampling in __k__‐__t__ space causes the object signals to be convolved with a point spread function in __x__‐__f__ space (__x__ = spatial position, __f__ =
