To accelerate the acquisition and reconstruction of the respiratory correlated (4D) radial MRI for image guided radiotherapy guidance, we propose a 3D radial-RIM network by adapting the forward model for Cartesian k-space in the regular RIM to radial k-space. Experiments show that the radial-RIM reconstructs images with better quality than the XD-GRASP compressed sensing for 3-4 times accelerated 4D radial free-breathing lung/liver acquisitions, with reconstruction time per slice reduced from 2 minutes to 1.9 seconds. Signal correlation exploited by the radial-RIM over the extra motion-state dimension contributes substantially to the image quality.
