A Motion Monitorred SPACE Sequence for Isotropic Cardotid Wall Imaging

Qiong Zhang¹, Cong Zhao¹, Jing An¹

In this work, a self-navigated 3D measurement paradigm is proposed and tested with a three-dimensional turbo spin-echo (SPACE) sequence. Compared with conventional cross-paired navigator [4], sequence of this work requires no navigation bar, skips the manual positioning and leaves no dark-band on final image. With volunteer test, this work makes motion blurring reduced and definition of vessel wall increased.
