Fig. 4A Volume-targeted navigator-gated and navigator-corrected double
oblique 3D segmented k-space gradient-echo images obtained in three subjects
(3 T, TR/TE = 4.3/1.47,
=20°, resolution=0.7x1x3 mm,
field of view = 360 x 270 mm, 512 x 268 matrix, 16 radiofrequency
excitations per R-R interval, acquisition time window [Tacq] = 69
milliseconds, bandwidth = 362 Hz/pixel, scan duration = 145-259 seconds
depending on navigator efficiency and heart rate, 10 slices [acquired], 20
slices [reconstructed using zero filling], fat saturation, adiabatic T2
prepulse [TE = 50 milliseconds]). Axial views of left anterior descending
coronary artery in 31-year-old healthy man acquired at trigger delay of 579
milliseconds using visual assessment method (A) and at trigger delay of
675 milliseconds using FREEZE software tool (B). Conspicuity of vessel
(arrows) differs between B and A.
