Abstract:For MR-guided radiotherapy treatment planning of the thorax, cardiorespiratory triggered T2-weighted MRI images are desired. We investigate the usage of a navigator placed on the left ventricle to do cardiorespiratory triggering, and compare it to images obtained by placing the navigator on the liver-lung interface to do respiratory triggering. We scanned 5 healthy volunteers, making high-resolution scans with both navigators, and cine and 4D-MRI scans for reference. We found that cardiorespiratory triggering … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
