Accelerated free-breathing diffusion tensor MRI of the entire human heart using spatiotemporal registration and retrospective image selection
Background Currently diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) of the heart can be performed in vivo either with a dual-gated STE [1] or gated motion-compensated PGSE [2]. Both are inefficient due to cardiac and respiratory motion leading to long scan times [3]. Simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) blippedCAIPI [4] has emerged as a unique EPI technique to acquire multiple slices simultaneously. SMS has been used fo...
متن کاملSelf-Gated Free-Breathing 3D Coronary CINE Imaging with Simultaneous Water and Fat Visualization
The aim of this study was to develop a novel technique for acquiring 3-dimensional (3D) coronary CINE magnetic resonance images with both water and fat visualization during free breathing and without external respiratory or cardiac gating. The implemented multi-echo hybrid 3D radial balanced Steady-State Free Precession (SSFP) sequence has an efficient data acquisition and is robust against mot...
متن کاملIn vivo human cardiac fibre architecture estimation using shape-based diffusion tensor processing
In vivo imaging of cardiac 3D fibre architecture is still a practical and methodological challenge. However it potentially provides important clinical insights, for example leading to a better understanding of the pathophysiology and the follow up of ventricular remodelling after therapy. Recently, the acquisition of 2D multi-slice Diffusion Tensor Images (DTI) of the in vivo human heart has be...
متن کاملRadial simultaneous multi slice imaging for rapid cardiac imaging
Background It may be possible to more rapidly acquire cine, cardiac perfusion, and Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) images for “free” with Simultaneous Multi-Slice (SMS) methods. With SMS imaging, multiple slices are simultaneously excited and acquired. Here we explore the application of an undersampled radial SMS approach termed Controlled Aliasing In Parallel Imaging results in higher accele...
متن کاملSimultaneous multi-slice excitation for single breath hold estimates of left ventricular rotational mechanics
Background Quantitative measurements of left ventricular (LV) rotational mechanics can be estimated from cardiac tagged images and provide early insight into LV dysfunction. Current clinical protocols acquire tagged images at the LV apex and the LV base in two separate breath-held scans, which can contribute measurement bias due to differences in cardiac loading conditions. The first objective ...
