ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed to reconstruct multiphase MR images that accurately depict the entire cardiac cycle. A segmented, gradient-recalled-echo sequence is modified to acquire data continuously. Images are retrospectively reconstructed by selecting views from each heartbeat based on cardiac phase rather than the time elapsed from the QRS complex. Cardiac phase is calculated using a model that compensates for beat-to-beat heart rate changes.
