Abstract

Abstract A respiratory and cardiac self‐gated free‐breathing three‐dimensional cine steady‐state free precession imaging method using multiecho hybrid radial sampling is presented. Cartesian mapping of the k ‐space center along the slice encoding direction provides intensity‐weighted position information, from which both respiratory and cardiac motions are derived. With in plan radial sampling acquired at every pulse repetition time, no extra scan time is required for sampling the k ‐space center. Temporal filtering based on density compensation is used for radial reconstruction to achieve high signal‐to‐noise ratio and contrast‐to‐noise ratio. High correlation between the self‐gating signals and external gating signals is demonstrated. This respiratory and cardiac self‐gated, free‐breathing, three‐dimensional, radial cardiac cine imaging technique provides image quality comparable to that acquired with the multiple breath‐hold two‐dimensional Cartesian steady‐state free precession technique in short‐axis, four‐chamber, and two‐chamber orientations. Functional measurements from the three‐dimensional cardiac short axis cine images are found to be comparable to those obtained using the standard two‐dimensional technique.
