Navigator‐Based Slice Tracking for Multiband Accelerated Liver DWI

Key Points

• 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.
