Abstract:Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) has become an essential diagnostic imaging modality in cardiovascular disease. However, the insufficient image quality of traditional breath-hold (BH) T2-weighted (T2W) imaging may compromise its diagnostic accuracy. Purpose To assess the efficacy of the BLADE technique to reduce motion artifacts and improve the image quality. Material and Methods Free-breathing TSE-T2W imaging sequence with cartesian and BLADE k-space trajectory were acquired in 20 patients. Thirty p… Show more
