The
combined use of Motion-Sensitive (MoSe) CINE imaging for determining accurate
TD setting and fast elastic image registration (FEIR) could minimizing the
influence of cardiac motion-related artifacts.
Figure.2 A comparison MOLLI T1mapping with/without MoSe-CINE approach and FEIR. Both
conventional MoSE-CINE visual approach with FEIR clearly improved the accuracy
on T1 confidence map and the combination of MoSE-CINE visual approach with FEIR
showed the best image quality.
Figure.1 MoSe-CINE
images allows direct visualization of motion-independent cardiac phase timing. It shows depicted signal decrease due to cardiac
motion and it pointed out when is the best timing to trigger for both systolic
and diastolic timings.
