          Spirometry measurements during expiration are standard 
						for diagnosis of many lung diseases. However, these 
						measurements contain no spatial information. Highly 
						accelerated 4D MRI with compressed sensing can be used 
						to image the lungs during forced respiratory maneuvers. 
						Golden angle stack-of-stars view ordering is utilized to 
						distribute the data into undersampled temporal bins. 
						Total variation between neighboring frames, as well as 
						reference frames acquired during the same scan, provide 
						enough sparsity to reconstruct images with as few as 1 
						readout per slice per time, ie. 100x acceleration, ie. 
						46ms resolution.
