The effect of motion on two-dimensional Fourier transformation magnetic resonance images

CL Schultz, RJ Alfidi, AD Nelson, SY Kopiwoda and ME Clampitt

The effect of motion on two-dimensional Fourier transformation magnetic resonance (MR) images was investigated using phantoms, animals, and normal volunteers. All images were obtained with a 0.30-Tesla superconducting magnet using spin echo pulse sequences. Respiratory motion was simulated while imaging the phantoms. In addition to image blurring, motion produced ghost images, or image harmonics. These ghost images were copies of the static image that was produced at periodic intervals. Canine images, which were obtained during respiration and after the administration of curare, showed significant improvement after respiratory motion was eliminated. Images of normal volunteers were improved with respiratory and cardiac gating, but data acquisition time was significantly increased. These results indicate that MR image quality could be improved with a system that acquires all necessary data within a single breathhold .
