GRASP MATLAB Code

Reconstruction code for fast and flexible free-breathing dynamic volumetric MRI.

We are making available joint compressed sensing and parallel imaging reconstruction of golden-angle radial MRI data with arbitrary temporal resolution.

The MATLAB code includes the core reconstruction algorithm and examples of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of the liver.

Golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP) MRI combines parallel imaging and compressed sensing, outperforming either technique. GRASP delivers high spacial and temporal resolution in volumetric MRI and is highly robust to the effects of patient motion. These characteristics make GRASP especially valuable in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of patients who may have trouble remaining still for long periods or performing lengthy breath holds in the scanner.

GRASP has been translated into clinical use at NYU Langone Health and many medical centers around the world. The technique is available on Siemens MRI scanners under the name Compressed Sensing GRASP-VIBE.
