Article Abstract
Background: Dual-gating reduces respiratory and cardiac motion effects but increases noise. With motion correction, motion is minimized and image quality preserved. We applied motion correction to create end-diastolic respiratory motion corrected images from dual-gated images.
Methods: [F]-fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]-FDG) PET images of 13 subjects were reconstructed with 4 methods: non-gated, dual-gated, motion corrected, and motion corrected with 4D-CT (MoCo-4D). Image quality was evaluated using standardized uptake values, contrast ratio, signal-to-noise ratio, coefficient of variation, and contrast-to-noise ratio. Motion minimization was evaluated using myocardial wall thickness.
Results: MoCo-4D showed improvement for contrast ratio (2.83 vs 2.76), signal-to-noise ratio (27.5 vs 20.3) and contrast-to-noise ratio (14.5 vs 11.1) compared to dual-gating. The uptake difference between MoCo-4D and non-gated images was non-significant (P > .05) for the myocardium (2.06 vs 2.15 g/mL), but significant (P < .05) for the blood pool (.80 vs .86 g/mL). Non-gated images had the lowest coefficient of variation (27.3%), with significant increase for all other methods (31.6-32.5%). MoCo-4D showed smallest myocardial wall thickness (16.6 mm) with significant decrease compared to non-gated images (20.9 mm).
Conclusions: End-diastolic respiratory motion correction and 4D-CT resulted in improved motion minimization and image quality over standard dual-gating.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is an established non-invasive tool for the assessment of cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death globally. CMR provides dynamic and static multi-contrast and multi-parametric images, including cine for functional evaluation, contrast-enhanced imaging and parametric mapping for tissue characterization, and MR angiography for the assessment of the aortic, coronary and pulmonary circulation. However, clinical CMR imaging sequences still have some limitations such as the requirement for multiple breath-holds, incomplete spatial coverage, complex planning and acquisition, low scan efficiency and long scan times.

Purpose: To develop a rapid 2D free-running myocardial mapping technique that is robust to through-plane respiratory motion.
Methods: A free-running golden angle radial sequence consisting of encoding and self-navigated auto motion calibration (SNAC) was developed. The encoding adopted inversion recovery (IR) prepared interleaved multi-slice acquisition with optimized inter-slice gap to ensure a uniform excitation of the middle slice regardless of through-plane respiratory motion.

In March of 2025, 145 attendees convened at the Hub for Clinical Collaboration of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for the inaugural International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) Body MRI Study Group workshop entitled "Body MRI: Unsolved Problems and Unmet Needs." Approximately 24% of the attendees were MD or MD/PhD's, 45% were PhD's, and 30% were early-career trainees and postdoctoral associates. Among the invited speakers and moderators, 28% were from outside the United States, with a 40:60% female-to-male ratio.

∆B shim optimization performed at the beginning of an MR scan is unable to correct for ∆B field inhomogeneities caused by patient motion or hardware instability during scans. Navigator-based methods have been demonstrated previously to be effective for motion and shim correction. The purpose of this work was to accelerate volumetric navigators to allow fast acquisition of the parent navigated sequence with short real-time feedback time and high spatial resolution of the ∆B field mapping.

Syndactyly is a common congenital malformation of the hand, characterized by fusion of adjacent digits. Early surgical correction is recommended to prevent functional limitations and esthetic concerns. We report the case of a three-year-old girl with congenital simple complete cutaneous syndactyly between the third and fourth fingers of the left hand.
