Abstract
A respiratory motion correction method (SEGMO) is proposed for whole-heart coronary MRA. It eliminates the need for a diaphragm navigator, reduces imaging setup time, and has more accurate respiratory motion detection using an affine model. Its inherent 100% gating efficiency ensures a shorter and more fixed scan time compared to conventional navigator gated schemes.
Highlights
Free-breathing whole heart coronary MRA uses diaphragm navigator to gate data acquisition, which suffers from the need for time-consuming and exquisite positioning, prolonged scan time due to low gating efficiency, and inaccuracy in motion detection
A respiratory motion correction scheme is proposed with an affine motion model for accurate estimation of respiratory motion, and uses 1D projections to derive heart position and segment 3D radial data into respiratory bins
Three 3D images were reconstructed from each dataset: one without motion correction (NO), one corrected with navigator binning (NAV), and one with the proposed self-guided binning (SEGMO)
