Low-rank (subspace) imaging with temporal navigation and sparse sampling of (k, t)-space has previously been used to accelerate several cardiac imaging applications. Here we describe a more efficient self-navigated pulse sequence to acquire both navigator and sparse data in a single TR, doubling imaging speed to approach 100 frames per second. We demonstrate the assessment of myocardial inflammation in rats through self-navigated T2*-weighted imaging of immune cells labeled with micron-sized paramagnetic iron oxide (MPIO) particles.
