Standard segmented delayed enhancement (DE) is particularly motion sensitive owing to its interleaved reordering required for inversion recovery (IR). Ghosting artifacts frequently result from imperfect breath holding. The sequence cannot run free-breathing (FB). We present a novel DE technique, PROGRESSIVE, using a partially continuous reordering and dummy pulses for simultaneous motion robustness and IR-compatibility. We tested PROGRESSIVE in simulations, a motion phantom, and a cohort of patients. PROGRESSIVE images were devoid of ghosting. When acquired FB, quality was significantly better than standard DE, and equally good during perfect breath holding. PROGRESSIVE has the potential for FB self-navigated DE imaging.
