Highly efficient respiratory gating in whole heart MR employing non-rigid retrospective motion correction
Introduction: Three-dimensional whole heart imaging becomes the method of choice in various cardiac applications [1] as it avoids extensive planning of imaging slices and allows reconstructing arbitrary slice orientations. The drawback of the method is a relatively long scan time (on the order of several minutes) which requires motion compensation to suppress motion artifacts. A typical approac...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance--guided coronary artery stent placement in a swine model.
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance (MR)--guided coronary artery stent placement is a challenging vascular intervention because of the small size of the coronary arteries combined with incessant motion during the respiratory and cardiac cycles. These obstacles necessitate higher temporal and higher spatial resolution real-time MR imaging techniques when compared with interventional peripheral MR angi...
متن کامل3D projection reconstruction based respiratory motion correction technique for free-breathing coronary MRA
INTRODUCTION: Respiratory motion is one of the major challenges for coronary MRA. Current navigator based free-breathing techniques measure the position of the diaphragm and use a fixed correlation factor to estimate the position of the heart. Such techniques suffer from errors due to the indirect estimation of heart position and are plagued by low scan efficiencies (typically between 30 and 50...
متن کاملProspective projection-based respiratory whole-heart coronary MRI with patient-specific tracking factor
Introduction: Respiratory motion compensation in coronary artery MRI is challenging. Commonly, a pencil-beam navigator positioned on the right hemidiaphragm is used with a fixed slice tracking factor of 0.6 [1]. However, this scale factor varies among different patients [2, 3]. Respiratory selfgated navigator techniques have been introduced to directly measure the respiratory induced motion of ...
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...
