Fetal cardiac MRI requires high spatial and temporal resolution but is often limited by stochastic and periodic motion. To compensate for these sources of artifact, a radial golden-angle acquisition was used to acquire and reconstruct real-time fetal cardiac images. In-plane motion and fetal heart rate were then calculated from the real-time images and used to reconstruct reordered CINE images at high spatial and temporal resolution. Using this approach, motion-robust imaging of the fetal heart was successful in seven pregnant volunteers for both short-axis and long-axis multi-slice acquisitions.
