Magnetic resonance imaging strategies for heart studies

LE Crooks, B Barker, H Chang, D Feinberg, JC Hoenninger, JC Watts, M Arakawa, L Kaufman, PE Sheldon and E Botvinick

Given a suitable trigger signal, cardiac synchronized magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is simple to implement; however, single section techniques are not efficacious, especially when the heart rate sets the repetition interval. We demonstrate multi-section, double, and single- echo imaging, any of which rapidly covers the cardiac volume; 3-D modes capable of achieving very thin sections; and cycled multi-section imaging capable of efficaciously providing dynamic data on heart motion. These modes form a complementary, powerful set of options for clinical work.
