Prospective correction of patient-specific respiratory motion in myocardial T and T mapping.

Purpose: Respiratory motion in cardiovascular MRI presents a challenging problem with many potential solutions. Current approaches require breath-holds, apply retrospective image registration, or significantly increase scan time by respiratory gating. Myocardial T and T mapping techniques are particularly sensitive to motion as they require multiple source images to be accurately aligned prior to the estimation of tissue relaxation.

Patient specific prospective respiratory motion correction for efficient, free-breathing cardiovascular MRI.

Purpose: To develop a patient-specific respiratory motion correction technique with true 100% acquisition efficiency.

Methods: A short training scan consisting of a series of single heartbeat images, each acquired with a preceding diaphragmatic navigator, was performed to fit a model relating the patient-specific 3D respiratory motion of the heart-to-diaphragm position. The resulting motion model was then used to update the imaging plane in real-time to correct for translational motion based on respiratory position provided by the navigator.

Intensive diabetes therapy and body weight: focus on insulin detemir.

Weight gain can be a significant barrier to the treatment of diabetes. Insulin detemir is a basal insulin analog that can help patients move safely toward glycemic targets with less weight gain. This review discusses the potential adverse effects of, and hypothesis for, weight gain resulting from intensive insulin management of diabetes.
