Respiratory motion remains a major challenge to the use of MRI in the body and techniques that restrict intra-scan motion utilizing breath-holding or gating are prone to error. In this work, we investigate use of aT1 weighted sliding slice approach that casts intra-scan motion as geometric distortion rather than aliasing. In phantoms and initial volunteer images, we demonstrate improved image quality compared to traditional 3D golden angle radial sampling and a profound robustness to motion.
