Free-breathing phase contrast MRI with near 100% respiratory navigator efficiency using k-space-dependent respiratory gating.
PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of a novel respiratory motion scheme, where only the center of k-space is gated using respiratory navigators, versus a fully respiratory-gated acquisition for three-dimensional flow imaging. METHODS Three-dimensional flow images were acquired axially using a gradient echo sequence in a volume, covering the ascending and descending aorta, and the pulmonary a...
متن کاملDivergence-free reconstruction for accelerated 3D phase-contrast flow measurements
In this work an approach is described to efficiently reduce inaccuracies of flow data acquired with reduced data acquisition methods based on the physical prior knowledge of zero divergence in 3D velocity vector fields. The divergence-free condition is implemented using a synergistic combination of normalized convolution and divergence-free radial basis functions. The efficacy of the method is ...
متن کاملPreliminary investigation of respiratory self-gating for free-breathing segmented cine MRI.
Segmented cine MRI generally requires breath-holding, which can be problematic for many patients. Navigator echo techniques, particularly successful for free-breathing coronary MRA, are incompatible with the acquisition strategies and SSFP pulse sequences commonly used for cine MRI. The purpose of this work is to introduce a new self-gating technique deriving respiratory gating information dire...
متن کامل3D free-breathing cardiac cine imaging with respiratory and cardiac self-gating and 3D motion correction
INTRODUCTION Free-breathing cardiac cine imaging with respiratory and cardiac self-gating provides flexibility and convenience for patient scans. Here we propose a 3D radial cardiac cine imaging technique that improves upon self-gating by adding 3D respiratory motion correction. The 3D respiratory motion signals are derived from multiple projections through the data used for image reconstructio...
متن کاملRegistration of Free-Breathing Abdominal 3D Contrast-Enhanced CT
CT perfusion imaging is used for the follow-up of abdominal tumors. A specificity of our work is that patients are breathing freely during image acquisition (5 minutes). We propose an automatic 3D image registration to compensate respiratory motion. The registration is computed in two main steps: global translation in the z-direction and 3D multiresolution blockmatching. Within this algorithm, ...
