Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) with electrocardiogram (ECG) triggering and breath-holding is a common MRI technique for examination of ventricular function. For whole-heart imaging, resting periods are often necessary between breath-holds because many patients find it difficult to perform successive breath-holds and this eventually prolongs the entire examination time. Although self-gating (SG) techniques can relieve the discomfort that comes from multiple breath-holds, the sampling efficiency is limited because the data from inspiration phases are discarded. In this work, we propose a new sampling strategy for efficient multi-slice cardiac cine imaging that acquires data with a reduced number of breath-holds.
