Self‐gated golden‐angle spiral 4D flow MRI

The acquisition of 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in cardiovascular applications has recently made large progress toward clinical feasibility. The need for simultaneous compensation of cardiac and breathing motion still poses a challenge for widespread clinical use. Especially, breathing motion, addressed by gating approaches, can lead to unpredictable and long scan times. The current work proposes a time‐efficient self‐gated 4D flow sequence that exploits up to 100% of the acquired data and operates at a predictable scan time.
