3D abdominal MR imaging at high spatial resolution requires long breathholds to avoid motion artifacts. This study presents the combination of a 3D golden angle radial trajectory and non-Cartesian parallel imaging for high-resolution abdominal imaging. This trajectory provides a self-navigation signal to detect the inevitable transition from breathhold to free-breathing, and the golden angle radial trajectory yields nearly uniform angular undersampling regardless of breathhold duration. This method can automatically and retrospectively provide clinically useful images even in the presence of motion while preserving high resolution for 3D abdominal imaging.
