In this work we combine image-based self-gating (img-SG)
with ultra-short TE (UTE) 3D acquisition for lung
imaging to allow effective respiratory gating during
free breathing. The proposed method is also compared
with k-space center self-gating (DC-SG). Successful
retrospective extraction of respiratory signal from low
definition, high temporal resolution images was
obtained. While DC-SG signals requires to be strongly
band-pass filtered which results in a sinusoidal shaped
signal, img-SG permits direct visualization of the
respiratory movement and therefore provides better
outcome.
