In this work an approach to respiratory self-navigation
is proposed that is applicable to non-Cartesian dynamic
contrast enhanced MRI sequences that repeatedly sample
the k-space center. The approach starts by bandpass
filtering to removes slow changes in the signal
magnitude & phase due to contrast arrival as well as
high frequency noise. Correlations among the complex
central k-space point are then evaluated across coils to
extract a respiratory waveform. This waveform enables
retrospective respiratory binning for motion-compensated
image reconstruction. Computation time is negligible and
the resulting navigator compares favorably to those
acquired with a respiratory bellows or image-domain
navigator.
