What is Unraveling the Effect of Spatial Resolution and Scan Acceleration on 3D Image-Based Navigators for Respiratory Motion Tracking in Coronary MR Angiography about?

Purpose: To study the accuracy of motion information extracted from beat-to-beat 3D image-based navigators (3D iNAVs) collected using a variable-density cones trajectory with different combinations of spatial resolutions and scan acceleration factors. Methods: Fully sampled, breath-held 4.4 mm 3D iNAV datasets for six respiratory phases are acquired in a volunteer. Ground truth translational and nonrigid motion information is derived from these datasets. Subsequently, the motion estimates from synthesized undersampled 3D iNAVs with isotropic spatial resolutions of 4.4 mm (acceleration factor = 10.9), 5.4 mm (acceleration factor = 7.2), 6.4 mm (acceleration factor = 4.2), and 7.8 mm (acceleration factor = 2.9) are assessed against the ground truth information. The undersampled 3D iNAV configuration with the highest accuracy motion estimates in simulation is then compared with the originally proposed 4.4 mm undersampled 3D iNAV in six volunteer studies. Results: The simulations indicate that for navigators beyond certain scan acceleration factors, the accuracy of motion estimates is compromised due to errors from residual aliasing and blurring/smoothening effects following compressed
