Prospective motion correction with EPI volumetric navigators multi-echo MPRAGE
suppressed the pediatrics’ head motion artifacts compared with using fast scan and
the conventional MPRAGE. CNR of the cerebral brain showed no significant difference
among all three different MPRAGE images.
Figure 1. Parameters
for the three different MPRAGE sequences used in this study.
Figure 2. (A) Representative images from MPRPAGE, wave-CAIPI MPRAGE, and
vNav Moco MEMPRAGE sequences from the same patient. The patient was injected
with contrast enhancement for the scan.
(B) Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) for five different cortical areas. The
left figure is from the cohort that did not receive any contract enhancement,
and the right figure is from the cohort that did. The analysis was performed using
the three different sequences.
