چکیده
reformatted images from non-gated and self-gated SPACE imaging. Note that images suffered from severe motion artifacts due to swallowing without self-gating motion compensation. Figure 2. (a) Correlation coefficients calculated between each projection and the reference profile; (b) Self-gating projection signals of the neck as a function of time; (c) Two projection signals acquired with and without swallowing, respectively. b a

Prospective swallowing motion self-gating: a feasibility study in carotid artery wall MRI using 3D variable-flip-angle TSE
Background 3D black-blood MRI is a promising imaging modality for carotid artery wall imaging but is inherently susceptible to motion. Previous work shown that swallowing can result in the greatest motion at the carotid bifurcation and its vicinity (1). A self-gating (SG) method in combination with a 3D variable-flip-angle turbo spinecho sequence, SPACE, has recently been proposed for gating sw...
متن کاملProspective Self-Gating To Eliminate Motion Artifacts in 3D Carotid Artery Wall Imaging
Introduction: 3D variable-flip-angle TSE (SPACE) has been proposed for carotid vessel wall imaging [1]. However, a relatively long imaging time renders this technique more prone to image artifacts caused by apparent motion such as swallowing. Self-gating technique [2] has recently been used to exclude data acquired during swallowing, yet two shortcomings remain. First, a single self-gating (SG)...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Whole-Heart Cine MRI using Prospective Self-Gating for Compensation of Cardiac and Respiratory Motion
Introduction: Two-dimensional (2D) breath-hold and ECG-triggered cine MRI is frequently used to assess cardiac function. However this technique requires cooperation from the patient, and the MR acquisition has to be synchronized with the cardiac cycle using ECG. To control respiratory motion, the subject has to perform breath-holds or the position of the diaphragm has to be tracked using a resp...
متن کاملProspective self-gating for simultaneous compensation of cardiac and respiratory motion.
Segmented cardiac acquisitions generally require the use of an electrocardiogram (ECG) in combination with a breathhold or a respiratory navigator placed on the diaphragm. These techniques necessitate patient cooperation and increase the complexity of cardiac imaging. The ECG signal may be distorted inside the magnet by interferences from radiofrequency and gradient action. Breathhold acquisiti...
متن کاملHighly efficient respiratory gating in whole heart MR employing non-rigid retrospective motion correction
Introduction: Three-dimensional whole heart imaging becomes the method of choice in various cardiac applications [1] as it avoids extensive planning of imaging slices and allows reconstructing arbitrary slice orientations. The drawback of the method is a relatively long scan time (on the order of several minutes) which requires motion compensation to suppress motion artifacts. A typical approac...
