We incorporated a silent navigator (sNav) with the whole volume excitation into zero-TE pulse sequence for respiratory motion corrected silent abdominal imaging. The sNav signals showed an excellent correlation between the bellows signals, and resultant zero-TE images had better contrasts than those acquired without respiratory triggering. The sNav-triggered zero-TE technique is expected to be used in abdominal MRI where acoustic noise is problematic (e.g. pediatric patient imaging with anesthesia).
