In theoretical and experimental spatiotemporal spectral analyses of two elementary models of motion, commonly encountered in dynamic cardiac imaging, temporal Nyquist frequencies were observed for each spatial frequency component. Temporal Nyquist rates were found higher for high spatial frequencies. These results open new perspectives on efficient sampling of kt-space for time-resolved cardiac MRI.
