Cine DENSE is a well-established myocardial strain imaging technique that typically requires breath-holding. In this study, we developed a self-gated free-breathing adaptive acquisition algorithm that reduces free-breathing artifacts by minimizing the residual energy of the phase-cycled T1-relaxation signal. The algorithm adaptively repeats the acquisition of the k-space data with the highest residual T1-echo energy. Evaluation in 7 healthy subjects demonstrated that the method provides high quality free-breathing self-gated cine DENSE images in a clinically-reasonable scan time.
