Non-Cartesian acquisitions combined with parallel imaging and compressed sensing have been proposed for high spatial and temporal resolution free breathing motion robust 4D contrast enhanced applications. While these approaches provide substantial reduction of contrast blurring and motion robustness, the sampling in itself may still provide limitations to capture the temporal image content. Our approach focuses on the optimization of the 4D sampling strategy with a unique 4D variable density, elliptical-centric radial stack of stars sharing approach. This approach reduces not only the minimum scan time of the 4D scan but also provide possibilties to optimally adjust and capture temporal information like motion and contrast enhancement.
