In this work we evaluate the proposed nonuniform self-gating (nuSG) method for lung imaging in highly irregular respiratory patterns and compare its performance to image-based and k-space-based gating methods and to a breath-hold reference. Functional parameters (proton fraction, fractional ventilation) and image sharpness are evaluated, with the nuSG algorithm showing a superior performance in case of fractional ventilation and image sharpness. In more uniform motion patterns its performance is similar to image-based SG and both techniques outperform k-space based gating.
