We propose a novel acquisition technique for motion-resolved abdominal imaging. Using a golden angle spiral projection trajectory, we were able to acquire reliable physiologic tracking data while acquiring 3D isotropic resolution images of the entire upper abdomen, resulting in an efficient self-gated sequence. We show that respiratory motion can be fully characterized in vivo in a minute-long 1.8 mm isotropic acquisition, which is suitable for applications such as PET/MR motion correction.
