Cardiac MRI conventionally relies on a large number of breath holds. This is relatively inefficient as it results in a high scanner idle time and motion inconsistencies (misalignment between sequences). In this work we evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of performing a whole cardiac examination during free-breathing using GRICS non-rigid motion correction. The approach was validated in 5 Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients with a cardiac protocol including free-breathing function (2D short-axis SSFP with whole heart coverage) and fibrosis assessment (post-contrast cine and 3D late enhancement). These preliminary results indicate diagnostic quality can be achieved along with good motion consistency.
