Beat-to-beat measurements of cardiac output have been demonstrated as a valuable diagnostic tool during interventional cardiovascular MR procedures with physiological provocations such as exercise. This preliminary study investigates the potential of golden-angle spiral imaging for combined real-time and retrospectively-binned flow measurements at rest and during exercise. In flow phantoms and human subjects, good agreement was observed between reference Cartesian measurements and self-gated spiral acquisitions at rest. During exercise, real-time and self-gated spiral imaging measured an increase in cardiac output, demonstrating this technique’s potential application to interventional MRI.
