 | Cardiac Motion Artifact | |
| Quick Overview
HELP
cardiac and respiratory synchronization
Movement of the heart causes blurring and ghosting in the images. The artifacts appear in the phase encoding direction, independent of the direction of the motion.
Image Guidance
These artifacts can be reduced by using cardiac synchronization: triggering, gating or retrospective triggering. Maximum reduction can be achieved by using triggering in combination with flow compensation, respiratory triggering or breath hold and regional saturation techniques.
