Removing respiratory motion is an important challenge
for cardiac MRI. This abstract presents initial work to
apply a novel method of prospective respiratory gating
using ShapeTape, a bend-sensitive optical-fibre-based
motion detection system. Gating can be performed without
interrupting imaging, and motion is sampled at high
rates. This allows gating separately for each cardiac
frame, improving image quality towards the end of the
cardiac cycle.
