Slice Ordering for Cardio-Respiratory Triggered Imaging of the Whole Liver in the Mouse

Sean Smart¹, Danny Allen¹, John Beech¹, Sally Hill¹, Veerle Kersemans¹, Lei Zhao¹, Ruth Muschel¹

We describe a slice ordering scheme used in conjuntion with cardio-respiratory triggering that is used to generate T2 weighted images of liver that are free of motion artefact. The scheme allows high resolution imaging of the whole liver in the mouse within an acceptable scan time.
