The 3D Radial sequence has many advantages over 2D
multislice GRE, namely isotropic resolution,
insensitivity to diffusion, reduced signal decay
effects, and the potential for very short echo times.
Despite these advantages, however, 2D multislice GRE has
remained the preferred sequence for hyperpolarized lung
imaging. This study applies a k-space trajectory
measurement technique to a 3D radial sequence, making
the 3D radial image quality comparable to that of 2D
multislice GRE.
