Abstract
Background Advanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) acquisitions often require long scan durations that necessitate respiratory navigator gating. This is particularly important in children with limited ability to hold their breath. We hypothesized that visual feedback of diaphragm position using an interactive videogame during CMR would increase navigator efficiency and improve image quality in children.
