Magnetic resonance imaging with gradient sound respiration guide.

Respiratory motion management is crucial for high-resolution MRI of the heart, lung, liver and kidney. In this article, respiration guide using acoustic sound generated by pulsed gradient waveforms was introduced in the pulmonary ultrashort echo time (UTE) sequence and validated by comparing with re...

The validated sound-guided respiration was implemented in non-contrast enhanced renal angiography.
