title: Breath-hold three-dimensional contrast-enhanced coronary MR angiography: motion-matched k-space sampling for reducing cardiac motion effects.
abstract: A view order that matches k-space sampling to cardiac motion within the acquisition window was developed for breath-hold three-dimensional contrast material-enhanced coronary magnetic resonance angiography. In vivo experiments in seven volunteers demonstrated that blurring was substantially reduced with this motion-matched view order as compared with the standard centric view order. Coronary arteries were well delineated.
