Due to great inter subject variation in the relationship between the motion of the diaphragm and the heart correcting for this is a major challenge in cardiac MR. By acquiring a subject specific model makes correction much more accurate. We have developed a technique to acquire a subject specific model describing the relationship between the motion of the diaphragm and that of the heart to enable improved slice following in cardiac MR.
