Abstract
Systems and methods for designing a data acquisition scheme to be used in magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) are provided. In particular, the systems and methods include designing efficient, or otherwise optimized, azimuthal equidistant projections for radially sampling k-space. This sampling pattern resulting from this data acquisition scheme minimizes image artifacts, including those attributable to eddy currents. The data acquisition scheme can be computed rapidly and automatically and, thus, is fit for routine use in clinical MRI systems.
