Claim One:
1. A method for adaptive averaging of velocity spectra using variable density trajectories, comprising: acquiring at least one series of velocity spectra, said acquisition being performed using interleaved VD trajectories, said interleaved VD trajectories sampling low k v data more often or more densely than high k v data, said series of velocity spectra further comprising at least one spectrum; identifying a series of velocity spectra comprising at least one velocity spectrum as a template, said template being identified using said low k v data; aligning at least one of said acquired series of velocity spectra with said template, said alignment being performed using said low k v data; and averaging said aligned spectra, said averaging further comprising averaging said low k v data of said aligned spectra, and combining said averaged low k v data with said high k v data of said aligned spectra, wherein said combination produces enhanced spectra.
