A DANTE tagging sequence for the evaluation of translational sample motion.
A magnetic resonance imaging sequence that is sensitive to translational motion such as that seen with cardiac contraction is presented. The sequence employs DANTE radio-frequency excitation with a continuous magnetic field gradient to generate a grid pattern of lines. There is improved line resolution and reduced eddy-current formation over current techniques.
