MR imaging of lung is challenging due to its short T2* and low proton density. In this study, we proposed a free breathing phase-resolved lung imaging technique using a 3D UTE sequence with an efficient Cones trajectory. Five different respiration phases were resolved using a self-navigator technique, and the corresponding lung images were reconstructed with a combined parallel imaging and compressed sensing algorithm. Small pulmonary vessels were well-displayed in these images.
