Respiratory-gating Reduces Motion Artifacts Due to Uterine Displacement in T2-weighted MR Imaging of the Female Pelvis
Key Points
To examine the effectiveness of respiratory-gated FSE-T2WI in reducing motion artifacts from uterine displacement during MRI.
Utilized respiratory-gated fast spin-echo T2-weighted imaging (FSE-T2WI).
Focused on type 1 and type 2 uteri exhibiting notable displacement.
Conducted imaging assessments to compare motion artifact levels.
Respiratory gating significantly decreased motion artifacts in T2-weighted images.
The effect was particularly pronounced in type 1 and type 2 uteri.
Abstract
Respiratory-gated FSE-T2WI effectively reduces motion artifacts caused by respiratory-induced uterine displacement, particularly in type 1 and type 2 uteri where displacement is pronounced.
