However, the RC-based snapshot 4D imaging only provides one breathing cycle, often contains severe binning motion artifacts, and may not represent tumor motion over 20-minute treatment, affecting treatment outcomes. Therefore, respiratory motion irregularities remain a challenge in radiotherapy. In this study, we report an improved time-resolved 4DMRI technique that captures multi-breath and can be used clinically and quantifies tumor motion irregularities.
