We investigate the feasibility of using 2-D self-navigation for respiratory gating for free-breathing whole-heart 3-D CINE imaging, where respiration-induced cardiac motion may be more easily detected than in commonly used 1-D self-navigation methods. We compare self-navigation images, derived gating signals and resulting 3-D CINE images of the 1-D and 2-D methods and find that respiratory motion can be well visualized with the 2-D method; both methods show a good overlap of gating signals and little difference in resulting image quality. 2-D self-gating may thus be considered a promising alternative to 1-D self-navigation as it allows easier detection of respiratory motion.
