In breast or thoracic-spine MRI, motion artifacts due to
cardiac- or aortic-pulsation inevitably appear,
particularly in the images after contrast media
injection. Such artifacts can impede the diagnosis. In
this study, we proposed a new technique for simply and
effectively reducing cardiac/pulsatile motion artifacts
on contrast-enhanced images by using a cylindrical
labeling inversion pulse which can be combined with
various sequences.
