In this work, we demonstrate a flexible approach to track respiratory motion throughout arbitrary MRI sequences without requiring any additional patient setup time or sequence modification. A reference RF signal, which has previously been referred to as the “pilot tone” (PT), is tracked throughout MR imaging, and its amplitude modulation provides information about respiratory motion. Specifically, we demonstrate continuous tracking of respiratory motion throughout multi-echo and multi-shot sequences on a human volunteer via PT navigation.
