Highly accelerated cardiac cine phase‐contrast MRI using an undersampled radial acquisition and temporally constrained reconstruction

To evaluate a method to enable single‐slice or multiple‐slice cine phase contrast (cine‐PC) acquisition during a single breath‐hold using a highly sparsified radial acquisition ordering and temporally constrained image reconstruction with a spatially varying temporal constraint.
