Three-dimensional radial trajectories have shown important benefits for multidimensional MR imaging of the heart. However, the performance of radial scanning approaches is sensitive even to small trajectory imperfections, which can induce significant artifacts in the reconstructed images. Here, we implemented a simple and flexible post-processing technique for trajectory inaccuracy artifact compensation that does not require any pre-scan calibration or pulse sequence modification. The technique proved effective when applied to in silico and in vitro phantom datasets, and preliminarily results suggest good feasibility in vivo for fully self-gated and motion-resolved 5D cardiac imaging.
