High-resolution intravascular (IV) MRI is susceptible to
degradation from physiological motion, and requires high
frame-rates for true endoscopy. Traditional cardiac
gating techniques are inefficient in scan-time usage and
reduce the effective frame rate. Here, sparse ungated
radial sampling is combined with motion correction using
frame-by-frame projection shifting based on a
singularity at the probes location, to provide reduced
motion sensitivity with up to a four-fold effective
increase in image acquisition speed. We demonstrate
free-breathing ~200m resolution
in
vivo
intravascular
MRI in rabbit aorta.
