Three-dimensional double golden-angle radial imaging has shown great potential in free-breathing whole-heart cardiac cine imaging using data binning, and respiratory resolved cardiac imaging. However, the original golden-angle trajectory involves large jumps in k-space, which leads to eddy current artifacts in bSSFP imaging. For successful binned cardiac imaging, two conditions must be fulfilled; first, the trajectory should provide high k-space uniformity, and second, the trajectory should avoid eddy current induced degradation of image uniformity. The purpose of this work was to develop a double golden-angle radial trajectory that fulfills both of these conditions.
