Modern rapid magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques have led to widespread use of
the modality in cardiac imaging. Despite this progress, many MR studies suffer from image …

The need for ECG gating presents many difficulties in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
(CMRI). Real‐time imaging techniques eliminate the need for ECG gating in cine CMRI, but …

Image quality in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considerably affected by motion.
Therefore, motion is one of the most common sources of artifacts in contemporary …

Segmented cine MRI generally requires breath‐holding, which can be problematic for many
patients. Navigator echo techniques, particularly successful for free‐breathing coronary …

Cardiac diffusion MRI based on stimulated‐echo acquisition mode (STEAM) techniques is
hampered by its inherent low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) efficiency. Diffusion imaging using …

Abstract Two‐dimensional (2D) breath‐hold cine MRI is used to assess cardiac anatomy
and function. However, this technique requires cooperation from the patient, and in some …

A nonrigid retrospective respiratory motion correction scheme is presented for whole‐heart
coronary imaging with interleaved acquisition of motion information. The quasi‐periodic …

Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of retrospective beat‐to‐beat correction of respiratory
motion, without the need for a respiratory motion model. Materials and Methods A high …

Purpose Whole‐heart MRA techniques typically target predetermined motion states, address
cardiac and respiratory dynamics independently, and require either complex planning or …

Synchronization of human vital signs, namely the cardiac cycle and respiratory excursions,
is necessary during magnetic resonance imaging of the cardiovascular system and the …
