Renal perfusion imaging with multi-delay arterial spin labeling (ASL) can provide multi-parametric information along with more robust quantification of renal blood flow. However, renal perfusion imaging with ASL is challenging especially due to respiratory motion. This work presents a subspace-based fast MR method for free-breathing multi-delay ASL imaging of the kidney. The feasibility of the proposed method is shown using in vivo data obtained from a healthy volunteer on a 3T MR scanner.
