Golden angle interleaving of radial k-space lines can be incorporated into 3D coronary MRI, so that a large acquisition window can be acquired for retrospective reconstructions of any window subset with minimal cardiac motion. To enable such reconstructions with minimal artifacts, uniform distribution of the radial lines becomes desirable, but this coverage is dependent on parameters such as the rotation angle and acquisition window size. We present an approach to determine the optimal rotation angle so that the radial spokes are evenly distributed for any subset of the acquisition window in a 3D radial stack-of-stars coronary MRI sequence.
