Purpose  Real‐time assessment of ventricular volumes requires high acceleration factors. Residual convolutional neural networks (CNN) have shown potential for removing artifacts caused by data undersampling. In this study, we investigated the ability of CNNs to reconstruct highly accelerated radial real‐time data in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).    Methods  A 3D (2D plus time) CNN architecture was developed and trained using synthetic training data created from previously acquired breath hold cine images from 250 CHD patients. The trained CNN was then used to reconstruct actual real‐time, tiny golden angle (tGA) radial SSFP data (13 × undersampled) acquired in 10 new patients with CHD. The same real‐time data was also reconstructed with compressed sensing (CS) to compare image quality and reconstruction time. Ventricular volume measurements made using both the CNN and CS reconstructed images were compared to reference standard breath hold data.    Results  It was feasible to train a CNN to remove artifact from highly undersampled radial real‐time data. The overall reconstruction time with the CNN (including creation of aliased images) was shown to be >5 × faster than the CS reconstruction. In addition, the image quality and accuracy of biventricular volumes measured from the CNN reconstructed images were superior to the CS reconstructions.    Conclusion  This article has demonstrated the potential for the use of a CNN for reconstruction of real‐time radial data within the clinical setting. Clinical measures of ventricular volumes using real‐time data with CNN reconstruction are not statistically significantly different from gold‐standard, cardiac‐gated, breath‐hold techniques.
