## Abstract First‐pass cardiac perfusion MRI is a natural candidate for compressed sensing acceleration since its representation in the combined temporal Fourier and spatial domain is sparse and the required incoherence can be effectively accomplished by __k‐t__ random undersampling. However, the r

✦ Synopsis
Parallel Imaging and Compressed Sensing have individually been shown to speed up cardiac functional MRI in mice and rats at ultra-high magnetic fields whilst providing accurate measurement of the physiologically relevant parameters. This study demonstrates that the acquisition time for cine-MRI in rodent hearts can be significantly reduced further by combining both techniques.

## Abstract MRI can accurately and reproducibly assess cardiac function in rodents but requires relatively long imaging times. Therefore, parallel imaging techniques using a 4‐element RF‐coil array and MR sequences for cardiac MRI in rats were implemented at ultra‐high magnetic fields (9.4 Tesla [T
