Examinations of the human lung under free breathing
offer an increased patient comfort over those with
breath holds. This increase in comfort generally comes
at the cost of an increased scan time. To minimize this
extra time we propose an efficient cartesian sampling
scheme that employs oversampling of the k-space center.
In conjunction with parallel imaging methods, artifact
free volumetric images can be obtained in less than a
minute.
