Recent advances have enabled high resolution cardiac imaging using continuous acquisitions that do not require external gating devices and can be reconstructed in arbitrary dimensions. Here, we extend the use of this Free-running framework to a fully self-gated free-breathing 3D Cartesian trajectory with spiral profile ordering for cardiac and respiratory motion resolved 5D imaging. We demonstrate the feasibility of this Cartesian approach by reconstructing and comparing images from both radial and Cartesian sequences with matching scan parameters in healthy volunteers. Overall, Cartesian images demonstrated comparable cardiac and respiratory motion albeit with more residual artifacts present in the Cartesian images.
