ABSTRACT:
A subject's respiratory cycle is monitored (70) and analyzed (74) to determine a probability table (76). The probability table is continuously updated to provide a dynamic indication of the center between most stationary and most moving halves or other characteristic points within the respiratory cycle. At the beginning of each repeat time (TR), as resonance is excited (40), the output of the respiratory monitor is checked (80) and a determination is made (82) whether the patient is currently in the most stationary half or the most moving half of the respiratory cycle. Data lines generated in one half of the respiratory cycle are phase-encoded (84, 88) to generate a data line in each of a plurality of segments of k-space on one side of the central, zero phase-encoding point. Echoes occurring during the other half of the respiratory cycle are phase-encoded to generate data lines in segments of k-space on an opposite side of the central phase-encode angle. This process is repeated until a complete data set is generated with data lines generated during the stationary half of the respiratory cycle on one side of k-space and data lines generated during the half of the respiratory cycle with more motion on the other side. These data lines are then reconstructed into an image representation.
