Radial-acquisition imaging is suitable for lung imaging because it allows a very short TE and a desirable degree of motion insensitivity. Despite its tolerance to motion artifacts, respiratory motion is still a major reason of causing image artifacts in lung imaging, which motivates the need for the respiratory gating. In retrospective-respiratory gating, it is significant to keep the k-space as uniform as possible after gating. In this study, we explore the optimal condition for obtaining uniform k-space coverage after retrospective gating in consideration of various breathing patterns.
