To perform cardiac cine imaging of a rat with a clinical
whole-body 3T MRI system, a single slice was repeatedly
acquired with radial readouts rotated using the
golden-angle. The acquisition was interspersed with
repetitive measurements of 1D navigator projections with
a high frequency of 54 Hz. From the navigator data a
correlation function was derived showing both
respiratory and cardiac motion. Thresholding the
correlation function to exclude respiratory motion
retrospective cardiac cine-reconstruction was performed
by using the cardiac signal from the navigator data.
Spatial in-plane resolution of 0.21 x 0.21 mm was
achieved in less than 10 minutes
