Radial sampling is sensitive to trajectory errors and can cause image distortions. To investigate the effect of trajectory errors on temperature imaging, we first evaluated the use of Trajectory Auto-Corrected Image Reconstruction (TrACR), a method to reconstruct radial images without trajectory errors, for radial temperature imaging. Then, we examined the feasibility of TrACR with only one calibration on dynamic temperature imaging based on the assumption that gradient errors are time-invariant. Through phantom heating experiments, we validated that both of the TrACR and the single-calibration TrACR can correct the errors of normal and golden angle radial sampling and provide improved temperature accuracy.
