A respiratory navigator which tracks the diaphragmatic position is commonly used to correct the heart motion during free breathing acquisitions. However, the efficiency of this technique during prolonged breath-hold has not been fully investigated. In this study, we sought to assess the relation between the diaphragmatic motion and the heart motion during a prolonged breath hold performed with and without pre-oxygenation and hyperventilation.
