Rapid online deep artifact suppression for real-time spiral bSSFP CMR with blipped-CAIPI simultaneous multi-slice imaging at 1.5 T

arXiv:2605.26127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Purpose: Real-time (RT) bSSFP MRI enables fast free-breathing cardiovascular imaging but requires 10-16 slices for functional assessment, resulting in prolonged scan times. Simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) imaging can reduce acquisition time but when combined with non-Cartesian trajectories, it relies on iterative reconstructions that preclude online use. This study investigates deep artifact suppression to facilitate rapid, online reconstruction of RT-SMS. Methods: A spiral bSSFP SMS RT sequence with two simultaneously acquired slices was implem
The convergence of advanced imaging techniques, deep learning, and demand for faster, more accurate cardiovascular diagnostics is driving this innovation now.
This development significantly enhances the utility of real-time MRI for cardiovascular assessment by overcoming a major bottleneck in image reconstruction and processing, potentially leading to earlier and more precise diagnoses.
Real-time cardiovascular MRI will become more practical and accessible for online clinical use, reducing scan times and improving diagnostic throughput.
