High-resolution single-shot variable density spirals with acquisition densities matched to a Gaussian smoothing kernel are presented. Concurrent field monitoring and advanced image reconstruction (iterative SENSE and static B0-correction) proved to be instrumental to arrive at a high image quality. Matched-filter spirals increased tSNR of time series after fMRI-typical post-processing compared to Archimedean spirals and in summary, realize the best match to Gaussian smoothing kernel to date.
