Synopsis

A prospective respiratory motion correction control system, capable of slice-following, was tested on a 3 T clinical MRI scanner. The performance of the control system was compared against the most common respiratory motion compensation technique, namely multiple breath-holds. Both techniques produced similarly consistent results. The control system technique was able to reduce the acquisition time by acquiring data with 100% respiratory efficiency
