To acquire dynamic movements of the whole knee with isotropic resolution a 3D radial center-out acquisition scheme is combined with a low cost experimental measurement setup to perform single passive knee flexion. With a spatial resolution of (1.251.251.25) mm, the acquired 4D dynamic data sets are well suited for highly flexible subsequent image analysis including reconstruction of arbitrarily oriented or curved slices. In this work, we describe the measurement setup and imaging sequence and show the first basic measurement and reconstruction results.
