Single‐shot, motion insensitive cardiac imaging on a standard clinical system

The overall goal of this study was the development and application of a less motion sensitive, single‐shot MRI technique for use on a standard clinical system in a dynamic imaging setting, such as cardiac scanning. Time encoding, a single‐shot line scanning technique, has been used to produce single‐shot, small field‐of‐view cardiac images without the use of presaturation pulses. The major advantages of this method are: (1) as a line scanning technique, time encoding is minimally sensitive to motion when compared with 2D Fourier methods, and (2) aliasing will not occur if the object being imaged extends beyond the field of view.
