Abstract
The constant motion of the heart poses great challenges when developing cardiac imaging strategies. There is the beating motion of the heart, rich in clinically relevant information such as wall thickening and ejection fraction, and the respiration-induced motion of the heart, with little clinical importance other than the artifacts it may cause. The most common approach to handle these two types of motion consists of freezing the respiratory motion through breath holding while resolving the beating motion through electrocardiogram (ECG) gating (Chapter 2). Alternatively, one may freeze all motions at once using a suitably short scan time in real-time imaging. When breath holding is used, we need to image fast for patients to comply, and without breath holding, we need to image fast to freeze all motions involved. The need for fast imaging is ever present in cardiac imaging as speed is central to our strategies for handling motion.
