Abstrakt: | Purpose: To demonstrate that desynchronization between Cartesian k-space sampling and periodic motion in free-breathing lung MRI improves the robustness and efficiency of retrospective respiratory self-gating. Methods: Desynchronization was accomplished by reordering the phase (k Results: The uniformly sampled k-space after retrospective gating allows for a more stable iterative GRAPPA reconstruction and improved ghost artifact reduction compared with conventional sampling. It is shown that this stability can either be used to reduce the total scan time or to reconstruct artifact-free data sets in different respiratory phases, both resulting in an improved efficiency of retrospective respiratory self-gating. Conclusion: QR sampling leads to desynchronization between repeated data acquisition and periodic respiratory motion. This results in an improved motion artifact reduction in shorter scan time.
