Multislice localizer images using radial FLASH. The serial T1-weighted images (spoiled FLASH, TR/TE = 2.2/1.4 ms, flip angle 10°) at 1.5 mm resolution, 8 mm section thickness (312 mm coronal field-of-view, free breathing, no ECG or respiratory gating), and 1000 ms acquisition time (455 spokes, 208 data samples, gridding reconstruction) demonstrate the motion robustness of radial CMR sequences and serve to plan functional assessments of the heart.
