Time-resolved phase contrast MRI (4D flow) can quantify
cardiac function and flow. The technique may even permit
complex anatomical assessment, thus comprising a
comprehensive exam in a single scan. Unfortunately,
artifacts from respiratory motion compromise this
ability. Therefore, we developed a simple method to
measure motion using readily available navigation
information from the flow encoding gradients. We
incorporated and modified a variable-density sampling
and radial view-ordering scheme to facilitate motion
correction and compressed sensing methods. Lastly, we
integrated soft-gating to the compressed sensing and
parallel imaging reconstruction. These
motion-compensation approaches help improve the
reliability and resolution of 4D flow imaging.
