Excerpt
Cine DENSE MRI is an established myocardial strain imaging technique with high accuracy and rapid data analysis. Current cine DENSE protocols utilize breath-holding (BH); however, this practice limits the use of this technique to patients with good BH capabilities, excluding many pediatric and some heart failure patients. We propose a free-breathing (FB) framework for cine DENSE that uses localized excitation, self-navigated motion estimation, and k-space correction to enable FB motion-corrected (MC) imaging. …
