Perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) is not incorporated into routinely abdominal imaging due to the need for additional contrast injection and acquisition time. We have developed a novel acquisition and reconstruction method called GRASP (GRASP: Golden-angle RAdial Sparse Parallel) whereby data is acquired continuously in free-breathing and retrospectively reconstructed with flexible temporal resolution. In this study we have shown that high temporal GRASP reconstruction can be used for PWI to accurately measure kidney function (MR-GFR) as compared with the Cartesian scheme. Furthermore images reconstructed with different temporal resolution from a single acquisition can be used for morphologic evaluation.
