Abstract
Fast NMR pulse sequences are employed to acquire data sets from which a set of images can be reconstructed depicting a patient's heart at successive phases during the cardiac cycle. The number of images is increased by selecting views from adjacent data sets to form interpolated data sets that are employed to reconstruct images depicting the patient's heart at cardiac phases between the successive phases.
