Radial trajectories are appealing for efficient parameter mapping due to their robustness to undersampling compared to Cartesian trajectories. However, streaks due to scanner imperfections can significantly affect image quality and accuracy of parameter maps. Previously, we developed a streak reduction technique named CACTUS. CACTUS was demonstrated in cross-sectional (axial) abdominal parameter imaging. The other two imaging planes (coronal and sagittal) in radial MRI are more vulnerable to these anomaly streaks. In this work, we demonstrate the benefits of CACTUS in all three imaging orientations and investigate the effect of undersampling on the presence of streaks and associated parameter maps.
