Navigator‐triggered prospective acquisition correction (PACE) technique vs. conventional respiratory‐triggered technique for free‐breathing 3D MRCP: An initial prospective comparative study using healthy volunteers

To confirm the superiority of the navigator‐triggered prospective acquisition correction (PACE) technique over the conventional respiratory‐triggered (RESP) technique, something that has been perceived experimentally but without definite evidence, for free‐breathing three‐dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) using healthy volunteers.
