A novel self-navigated 3D radial whole-heart cine sequence for combined coronary anatomy visualization and ventricular function assessment is introduced. The sequence is not ECG-triggered and allows for the retrospective selection of both the acquisition window duration and its relative position in the cardiac cycle. In addition, multiplanar reformatting at any user-defined anatomical level is enabled for these 3D cine datasets. First combined coronary MRA and ventricular function data obtained with this approach in vivo and in humans are presented.
