In this work we propose an automatic processing strategy for respiratory self-navigation based on principal component analysis. Numerical simulation and in vivo study were performed. Results show that the proposed method accurately captures the simulated motion, and when applied to the in vivo coronary MRA dataset one is able to reduce motion blurring from phase correction using the detected translational motion.
