Accelerated acquisition of tagged MRI for cardiac motion correction in simultaneous PET‐MR: Phantom and patient studies

Abstract

Accelerated tMR images obtained with more than 4 times acceleration can still provide relatively accurate motion fields and yield tMR-based motion corrected PET images with similar image quality as those reconstructed using fully sampled tMR data. The reduction of tMR acquisition time makes it more compatible with routine clinical cardiac PET-MR studies.
