Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...

The Effect of Voxel Volume and Voxel Shape on Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging Metrics
ABSTRACT Purpose Cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) is signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR)‐limited due to diffusion signal attenuation, long echo times from gradient moment nulling, and moderate myocardial T2$$ {}_2 $$. Increasing voxel volume improves SNR but reduces spatial sensitivity and introduces physiological bias.

ABSTRACT Purpose Previous studies suggested that arterial‐input‐function (AIF) images are necessary to avoid signal saturation for pulmonary transit time (PTT) measurements. This study challenges that notion by investigating whether PTT can be accurately measured using blood pool signals from myocardial enhancement (non‐AIF) images during resting first‐
