Navigator‐Based Slice Tracking for Multiband Accelerated Liver DWI

The research aims to assess the effectiveness of a navigator technique in minimizing respiratory motion during liver DWI imaging.
Utilized a navigator-based technique to track slices during imaging.
Focused on liver diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in a multiband accelerated setup.
Analyzed image quality in relation to respiratory motion artifacts.
Demonstrated that the navigator technique significantly reduced respiratory motion artifacts.
Improved image quality was observed in liver DWI scans using this method.
Results indicate that the technique may lead to more accurate liver imaging.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of a NAV technique to reduce respiratory motion in MB accelerated liver DWI.
