Synopsis

Keywords: Kidney, Motion Correction

Motivation: Post-contrast T1-weighted imaging is vital for diagnosing renal MRI by assessing vasculature, finding vascular abnormalities, and evaluating kidney function. However, breathing motion degrades image quality, which is problematic since breath-holding is difficult for some patients, especially children.

Goal(s): There is an urgent need for motion-robust renal imaging for breath-holding challenged patients.

Approach: In this study, we demonstrated the effectiveness of FIDnavs in correcting motion-related artifacts in clinical post-contrast T1w-imaging of kidneys. We evaluated our pipeline on 5 pediatric patients, both retrospectively and prospectively, using FIDnav-based motion correction (MoCo).

Results: Utilizing FIDnavs for MoCo, reduced motion artifacts and blurring in post-contrast T1w-imaging.

Impact: Use of FID-navigated motion correction for post-contrast T1w-imaging of kidneys can reduce motion artifacts and minimize the scan time by eliminating the need of gating. However, the calibration step required for prospective motion correction should be eased for pediatric patients.
