چکیده
Hybrid Phase ordering with Automatic Window Selection (HybridPAWS) improves respiratory-navigator efficiency during 3D late-gadolinium enhancement CMR in patients with chronic heart failure and irregular respiratory pattern. When there is a low gating efficiency (<40%) observed with standard respiratory-gated method, HybridPAWS technique resulted in a significantly greater improvement in navigator efficiency.

3D free-breathing late gadolinium enhancement 3T MRI: comparison with standard 2D Imaging
Background Clinical cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is routinely performed during multiple breathholds in predefined 2D image orientations. 3D CMR is desirable, since it allows post-acquisition reformatting in any desired imaging plane. However, 3D CMR is hampered by long breath-hold duration, introducing patient discomfort and technical limitations. These limitations can be ove...

Background Acquisition durations of navigator gated high resolution 3D late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) studies are long (1,2). While implementation of the continuously adaptive windowing strategy (CLAWS (3)) which results in the fastest possible acquisition duration for a given breathing pattern and navigator acceptance window size may be beneficial, the respiratory-dependent and therefore, n...

Background In both ischemic (ICM) and non-ischemic (NICM) cardiomyopathy late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is an important cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) technique. LGE CMR, traditionally performed in 2D during multiple breath-holds (MB), is challenging for vulnerable patients and subject to slice misregistration. Therefore, LGE CMR during free-breathing (FB) is more robust and enables...

Introduction Prospective navigator-echo controlled scans are a widely used as an alternative to breath-hold acquisitions, generating respiratory motion free images with minimal patient co-operation. Such acquisitions require the setting of a navigator acceptance window (normally 5mm), usually about the end expiratory pause position, resulting in a scan efficiency during steady free-breathing of...
