Coronary Magnetic Resonance Imaging requires prolonged acquisition times; for this reason, respiratory movements of the heart have a great impact on the final image quality. The aim of this thesis was to provide possible optimization of the "self-navigation" approach to compensate this type of motion. Two developed methods were tested in 11 volunteer, thus providing statistically significant results. The purposed solutions provided optimal image quality in individal cases.

Abstract

Coronary Magnetic Resonance Imaging requires prolonged acquisition times; for this reason, respiratory movements of the heart have a great impact on the final image quality. The aim of this thesis was to provide possible optimization of the "self-navigation" approach to compensate this type of motion. Two developed methods were tested in 11 volunteer, thus providing statistically significant results. The purposed solutions provided optimal image quality in individal cases.
