Spiral k-space sampling holds great potential for many MRI applications particularly for arterial spin labeling which has inherently very low SNR. Besides providing significant increase in SNR by reducing the echo time and readout durations, spiral trajectories with single shot acquisitions are highly robust against motion artifacts. However their sensitivity to encoding deficiencies such as B0 off-resonance, field drifts, eddy currents, gradient coupling, gradient delays and concomitant fields prevents their utilization effectively in practice. In this work, we provide ASL with single-shot spiral readouts that are robust against all those deficiencies by using dynamic field monitoring concurrent with image acquisition.
