Free-breathing cardiac MR imaging: study of implications of respiratory motion--initial results.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The respiratory motion of several anatomic regions (right hemidiaphragm, left ventricle of the heart, chest wall, abdominal wall) was investigated during free breathing in 10 healthy volunteers by using multinavigator technology and real-time magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The respiratory motion shows hysteretic effects, which are strongly subject dependent and might have some effect on the quality of cardiac MR images.

A new strategy for respiration compensation, applied toward 3D free-breathing cardiac MRI.
In thorax and abdomen imaging, image quality may be affected by breathing motion. Cardiac MR images are typically obtained while the patient holds his or her breath, to avoid respiration-related artifacts. Although useful, breath-holding imposes constraints on scan duration, which in turn limits the achievable resolution and SNR. Longer scan times would be required to improve image quality, and...
متن کاملRespiratory Motion of the Heart: Implications for Magnetic Resonance Coronary Angiography
Magnetic resonance (MR) coronary imaging is susceptible to artifacts caused by motion of the heart. The purpose of this thesis was to study the respiratory motion of the coronary arteries and to use the results to develop strategies for improved MR imaging. The first section of the thesis describes an MR motion correction technique for objects undergoing a 3D affine transformation. The remainde...
متن کاملRespiratory Motion Correction for Compressively Sampled Free Breathing Cardiac MRI Using Smooth l1-Norm Approximation
Transformed domain sparsity of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has recently been used to reduce the acquisition time in conjunction with compressed sensing (CS) theory. Respiratory motion during MR scan results in strong blurring and ghosting artifacts in recovered MR images. To improve the quality of the recovered images, motion needs to be estimated and corrected. In this article, a two-step...

H. Pedersen, S. Ringgaard, W. Y. Kim The MR Research Centre, Skejby Hospital, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus N, Denmark INTRODUCTION Quantitative analysis of myocardial perfusion using free-breathing first-pass perfusion MRI is degraded by respiratory induced motion of the heart. Conventional strategies to correct this motion include the manual alignment of each image to fit a reference ima...
متن کاملCardiac MR imaging with external respirator: synchronizing cardiac and respiratory motion--feasibility study.
The feasibility of electrocardiography (ECG)-synchronized respiration with an external cuirass-type respirator in cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was evaluated. Cardiac MR imaging was performed in 10 nonsedated healthy volunteers with an ECG-triggered external respirator that was modified for use in the MR environment. Coronary MR angiograms and multiphase gradient-echo cine images were...
