Comparison of respiratory motion suppression techniques for 4D flow MRI.
PURPOSE The purpose of this work was to assess the impact of respiratory motion and to compare methods for suppression of respiratory motion artifacts in 4D Flow MRI. METHODS A numerical 3D aorta phantom was designed based on an aorta velocity field obtained by computational fluid mechanics. Motion-distorted 4D Flow MRI measurements were simulated and several different motion-suppression tech...
متن کاملSimulation Tool for k-Space Reordering in Free-Breathing Navigator-Gated 3D Coronary MRA
In coronary MR angiography (MRA) breathing motion during data acquisition may result in image artifacts. One solution is the use of MR navigators to gate to the respiratory cycle, but the use of narrow gating windows often lead to prolonged/time inefficient scans. Therefore sophisticated k-space reordering techniques 1, 2 have been proposed to reduce motion artifacts in free-breathing navigator...

Figure 1. Illustration of profile filling order in k-space for whole-heart 3D coronary MRA. (a) For the concentric elliptical filling order, dark blue profiles in the center are acquired first during one heart-beat while dark red profiles are acquired at the end of the same heartbeat. An angular increment is performed for subsequent heartbeats. (b) Using the conventional profile filling order i...
متن کاملSteady-state 4D flow using double gating: a healthy volunteer study
Background 4D Phase-Contrast MRI ("4D Flow”) has become a choice modality for assessment of flow patterns in complex vasculatures, such as congenital heart diseases. For thoracic imaging, the technique relies on ECG-triggering and an imaging navigator to compensate for breathing motion [Markl-JMRI2007]. The acquisition of the navigator requires switching off the 4D flow acquisition, thus breaki...
متن کاملAzimuthal Sorting in Tandem with Elliptical Reordering (ASTER): a new k-space reordering scheme for reduced motion sensitivity
Purpose: MRI is very sensitive to motion, particularly in 3D imaging where temporally localized motion can propagate across the whole reconstructed volume. In cardiac and abdominal imaging applications, subjects are required to suspend their respiration for a period of 15-25s to minimize ghosting and blurring artifacts. Breathholding poses difficulties in pediatric and elderly subjects and in p...
