Abstract: To increase the effectiveness of respiratory gating in radial stack-of-stars MRI, particularly when imaging at high spatial resolutions or with multiple echoes.Free induction decay (FID) navigators were integrated into a three-dimensional gradient echo radial stack-of-stars pulse sequence. These navigators provided a motion signal with a high temporal resolution, which allowed single-spoke binning (SSB): each spoke at each phase encode step was sorted individually to the corresponding motion state of the respiratory signal. SSB was compared with spoke-angle binning (SAB), in which all phase encode steps of one projection angle were sorted without the use of additional navigator data. To illustrate the benefit of SSB over SAB, images of a motion phantom and of six free-breathing volunteers were reconstructed after motion-gating using either method. Image sharpness was quantitatively compared using image gradient entropies.The proposed method resulted in sharper images of the motion phantom and free-breathing volunteers. Differences in gradient entropy were statistically significant (p = 0.03) in favor of SSB. The increased accuracy of motion-gating led to a decrease of streaking artifacts in motion-gated four-dimensional reconstructions. To consistently estimate respiratory signals from the FID-navigator data, specific types of gradient spoiler waveforms were required.SSB allowed high-resolution motion-corrected MR imaging, even when acquiring multiple gradient echo signals or large acquisition matrices, without sacrificing accuracy of motion-gating. SSB thus relieves restrictions on the choice of pulse sequence parameters, enabling the use of motion-gated radial stack-of-stars MRI in a broader domain of clinical applications.
