Pilot Tone has recently been proposed as a novel approach towards physiological signal monitoring. Unlike self-gating, often relied upon by free-running, respiratory-resolved imaging sequences, Pilot Tone is generalizable to a multitude of imaging techniques without requiring additional pulse sequence modification or specialized k-space sampling. In this work, we combine Pilot Tone with our previously described highly accelerated and fully self-gated whole-heart 4D flow framework to reconstruct respiratory-resolved 4D flow images in three healthy subjects. We compare Pilot Tone and self-gating derived respiratory binning and demonstrate good agreement in aortic and pulmonary artery flow quantification between the two methods.
