TL;DR: A real-time interactive MRI system capable of localizing coronary arteries and imaging arrhythmic hearts in real‐time is described, and rapid localization in the abdomen is demonstrated with the spiral‐ring acquisition, whereas peristaltic motion in the small bowel is well visualized using the circular echo‐planar sequence.

TL;DR: The design and testing of compressed sensing suited for a flyback 13C 3D-MRSI sequence are presented and the key to this design was the undersampling of spectral k-space using a novel blipped scheme, thus taking advantage of the considerable sparsity in typical hyperpolarized 13C spectra.

TL;DR: This work has developed a time‐resolved 3D MR spectroscopic imaging method for acquiring hyperpolarized 13C data by combining compressed sensing methods for acceleration and multiband excitation pulses to efficiently use the magnetization.

TL;DR: A new dynamic chemical-shift imaging method that uses specialized RF pulses designed to maintain most of the hyperpolarized substrate while providing adequate SNR for the metabolic products, allowing for improved observation of spatially varying metabolic reactions.

TL;DR: The new CMRI system provides clinically reliable evaluation of LV function and complements suboptimal echocardiography, the current noninvasive gold standard, and significantly reduces scan time, patient discomfort and associated cost.
