Summary

Introduction

Respiratory motion compensation is often required in cardiovascular MRI applications especially when the scan time is not suitable for breath-hold. Respiratory self-gating (RSG) is a technique that estimate the respiratory motion based on k-space signal from the imaging object and is especially advantageous in CINE-like applications where conventional diaphragm navigator frequently interrupted the image acquisition. The estimated motion in these approaches is often modulated by cardiac motion. A quantitative evaluation on the accuracy of the estimated motion is missing due to the lack of gold-standard. We propose a template cross-correlation (TCC) algorithm that provide accurate motion estimation with little cardiac motion modulation and evaluate it, along with other algorithms, using ventilator air-way pressure signal as gold standard in pediatric patients who underwent cardiac MRI exams under general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation
