Abstract
A system and method for generating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is provided. The MRI system is directed to perform the dynamic contrast enhanced imaging study of the subject by exciting a two-dimensional (2D) slice within a portion of a field of view (FOV) of the MRI system and acquiring imaging data from the 2D slice by sampling k-space in a pseudorandom manner using sampling trajectories extending between a center of k-space and peripheral areas of k-space. Thereafter, the 2D slice is slid to another portion of the FOV at a velocity selected to be greater a velocity of the motion of the subject and the process is repeated for each of a plurality of 2D slices to create images of the subject where artifacts induced by the motion of the subject are reflected as geometric distortions.
