| Abstract: | PURPOSE: Respiratory motion-compensated (MC) 3D cardiac fat-water imaging at 7T. METHODS: Free-breathing bipolar 3D triple-echo gradient-recalled-echo (GRE) data with radial phase-encoding (RPE) trajectory were acquired in 11 healthy volunteers (7M\4F, 21-35 years, mean: 30 years) with a wide range of body mass index (BMI; 19.9-34.0 kg/m2 ) and volunteer tailored B(1)(+) shimming. The bipolar-corrected triple-echo GRE-RPE data were binned into different respiratory phases (self-navigation) and were used for the estimation of non-rigid motion vector fields (MF) and respiratory resolved (RR) maps of the main magnetic field deviations (ΔB0 ). RR ΔB0 maps and MC ΔB0 maps were compared to a reference respiratory phase to assess respiration-induced changes. Subsequently, cardiac binned fat-water images were obtained using a model-based, respiratory motion-corrected image reconstruction. RESULTS: The 3D cardiac fat-water imaging at 7T was successfully demonstrated. Local respiration-induced frequency shifts in MC ΔB(0) maps are small compared to the chemical shifts used in the multi-peak model. Compared to the reference exhale ΔB0 map these changes are in the order of 10 Hz on average. Cardiac binned MC fat-water reconstruction reduced respiration induced blurring in the fat-water images, and flow artifacts are reduced in the end-diastolic fat-water separated images. CONCLUSION: This work demonstrates the feasibility of 3D fat-water imaging at UHF for the entire human heart despite spatial and temporal B(1)(+) and B0 variations, as well as respiratory and cardiac motion. |
