Conventional multiple breath-hold two-dimensional （2D） balanced steady-state free precession （SSFP） presents many difficulties in cardiac cine magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）. Recently, a self-gated free-breathing three-dimensional （3D） SSFP technique has been proposed as an alternative in many studies. However, the accuracy and effectiveness of selfgating signals have been barely studied before. Since self-gating signals are crucially important in image reconstruction, a systematic study of self-gating signals and comparison with external monitored signals are needed. Previously developed self-gated free-breathing 3D SSFP techniques are used on twenty-eight healthy volunteers. Both electrocardiographic （ECG） and respiratory bellow signals are also acquired during the scan as external signals. Self-gating signal and external signal are compared by trigger and gating window. Gating window is proposed to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of respiratory self-gating signal. Relative deviation of the trigger and root-mean-square-deviation of the cycle duration are calculated. A two-tailed paired t-test is used to identify the difference between self-gating and external signals. A Wilcoxon signed rank test is used to identify the difference between peak and valley self-gating triggers. The results demonstrate an excellent correlation （P = 0, R 〉 0.99） between self-gating and external triggers. Wilcoxon signed rank test shows that there is no significant difference between peak and valley self-gating triggers for both cardiac （H = 0, P 〉 0.10） and respiratory （H = 0, P 〉 0.44） motions. The difference between self-gating and externally monitored signals is not significant （two-tailed paired-sample t-test： H = 0, P 〉 0.90）. The self-gating signals could demonstrate cardiac and respiratory motion accurately and effectively as ECG and respiratory bellow. The difference between the two methods is not significant and can be explained. Furthermore, few ECG trigger error

AIM: To compare breath-hold cartesian volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination(cVIBE) and freebreathing radial VIBE(rVIBE) and determine whether rVIBE could replace cVIBE in routine liver magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).METHODS: In this prospective study, 15 consecutive patients scheduled for routine MRI of the abdomen underwent pre- and post-contrast breath-hold cVIBE imaging(19 s acquisition time) and free-breathing rVIBE imaging(111 s acquisition time) on a 1.5T Siemens scanner. Three radiologists with 2, 4, and 8 years post-fellowship experience in abdominal imaging evaluated all images. The radiologists were blinded to the sequence types, which were presented in a random order for each patient. For each sequence, the radiologists scored the cVIBE and rVIBE images for liver edge sharpness, hepatic vessel clarity, presence of artifacts, lesion conspicuity, fat saturation, and overall image quality using a five-point scale. RESULTS: Compared to rVIBE, cVIBE yielded significantly(P free-breathing rVIBE yields acceptable, although slightly inferior image quality compared to breath-hold cVIBE.

Optimization of Image Quality in Retrospective Respiratory-Gated Micro-CT for Quantitative Measurements of Lung Function in free-breathing Rats

Objective: To optimize scan time and X-ray dose with no loss of image quality for retrospectively gated micro-CT scans of free-breathing rats. Methods: Five free-breathing rats were scanned using a dynamic micro-CT scanner over 10 continuous gantry rotations (50 seconds and entrance dose of 0.28 Gy). The in-phase projection views were selected and reconstructed, representing peak inspiration and end expiration from all 10 rotations and progressively fewer rotations. A least error method was also used to ensure that all angular positions were filled. Image quality and reproducibility for physiological measurements were compared for the two techniques. Results: The least error approach underestimated the lung volume, air content in the lung at peak inspiration, and tidal volume. Other measurements showed no differences between the projection-sorting techniques. Conclusions: Seven gantry rotations (35 seconds and 0.2 Gy dose) proved to be the optimal protocol for both the in-phase images and the least error images.

Objective: To compare image quality and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) of the normal pancreas parenchymas in breath-hold, respiratory-triggered and free-breathing diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) at 3.0-Tesla. Methods: DWI of the pancreas was performed at 3.0-Tesla in 21 healthy volunteers with breath-hold, respiratory-triggered and free-breathing using b-values of 0 and 500 s/mm2. For all three sequences, two readers assigned an image quality score to images at b0 and b500, and two independent readers measured ADCs for the head, body and tail of pancreas. Image quality scores and ADCs of pancreas in the three DWIs were compared. Results: For b0, image quality scores was not significantly different among the three sequences (p = 0.103). For b500, image quality score was significantly lower in free-breathing DWI than breath-hold or respiratory-triggered DWI (p = 0.000), and not significantly different between breath-hold and respiratory-triggered DWI (p = 0.212). Mean ADCs differed significantly among the anatomical regions with the lowest values measured in the pancreatic tail both at breath-hold and respiratory-triggered DWIs whereas no significant difference was found at free-breathing DWI. Conclusion: Breath-hold or respiratory-triggered technique provided DW images of pancreas with acceptable quality at 3.0-Tesla. Breath-hold is the preferred DWI technique for ADC measurements of pancreas.
