For the clinical cardiac MR imaging application, patients are generally required to hold their breath during the scan to minimize the motion-related artifacts. The PROPELLER encoding method can reconstruct a low-resolution image, which can be used to extract respiratory trace, from every single blade due to k-space center oversampling. In this study, we investigated the possibility of extracting respiratory motion trace with the low-resolution images acquired by PROPELLER encoding for the application of free-breathing high resolution cardiac imaging.
