Free-Breathing Pediatric Imaging with Nonrigid Motion Correction and Parallel Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE: MR is a compelling imaging modality for children, free of risks of ionizing radiation of CT and nuclear scintigraphy studies. However, motion corrupts MR images, so children often undergo deep anesthesia and periods of suspended respiration, particularly for body MR exams. This prolongs studies and has its risks. Leveraging recent advancements in accelerated imaging and motion correction, we developed a novel method aimed to eliminate the need for deep anesthesia and breath-holds via a high-resolution motion-free volumetric MR scan acquired free-breathing with contrast-enhancement.

Accelerated isotropic resolution 3D image-based navigators for coronary MR angiography
PURPOSE To develop a method for acquiring whole-heart 3D image-based navigators (iNAVs) with isotropic resolution for tracking and correction of localized motion in coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA). METHODS To monitor motion in all regions of the heart during a free-breathing scan, a variable-density cones trajectory was designed to collect a 3D iNAV every heartbeat in 176 ms wi...

Background Cine DENSE MRI is an established myocardial strain imaging technique with high accuracy and rapid data analysis. Current cine DENSE protocols utilize breathholding (BH); however, this practice limits the use of this technique to patients with good BH capabilities, excluding many pediatric and some heart failure patients. We propose a free-breathing (FB) framework for cine DENSE that ...

Real-time imaging may be clinically important in patients with congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or in pediatric cases. However, real-time imaging typically has compromised spatial and temporal resolution compared with gated, segmented studies. To combine the best features of both types of imaging, a new method is proposed that uses parallel imaging to improve temporal resolution of real-t...
