This
work presents a new, center-out, rapid 3D trajectory based on spirals. It has very uniform sampling density, and
good suppression of aliasing and motion artifacts. A unique feature is that, with little
penalty in time, it samples most of k-space twice, in orthogonal directions,
making it a good method undersampling for parallel imaging or compressed
sensing.
