Abstract
A system and method for adaptive averaging of velocity spectra using variable density trajectories, comprising: acquiring at least one series of velocity spectra using interleaved variable density trajectories and sampling low k data more often or more densely than high k data, the series of velocity spectra further comprising at least one spectrum; identifying a series of velocity spectra that comprises at least one velocity spectrum as a template, aligning at least one of the acquired series of velocity spectra with the template using low k data; and averaging the aligned spectra, the averaging further comprising averaging the low k data of the aligned spectra, and combining the averaged low k data with the high k data of the aligned spectra, wherein the combination produces enhanced spectra.
