During the past decades, fiber-optic technology has become a very popular tool for vital
signs monitoring. Thanks to its advantageous properties, such as noninvasiveness …

In order to obtain insights into the feasibility of replacing ECG-guided triggering in magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) by a system based on video photoplethysmography (PPG), PPG …

One aspect of the present subject matter provides an imaging method including: receiving a
trigger signal; after a period substantially equal to a trigger delay minus an inversion delay …

Purpose: Whole-heart MRA techniques typically target pre-determined motion states and
address cardiac and respiratory dynamics independently. We propose a novel fast …

Abstract Black Blood Fast Spin Echo imaging of the heart is usually performed during mid‐
diastolic rest. This is a direct consequence of the long inversion time required to suppress …

In the non-contrast 3D angiography, degradation of image quality caused by change of the
cardiac cycle and degradation of image quality depending on the blood flow direction are …

Background To test the hypothesis that intervals with superior beat‐to‐beat coronary artery
repositioning precision exist in the cardiac cycle, to design a coronary MR angiography …

A medical image diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing
circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to derive a subject-specific regression model …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently been shown to provide valuable
information for image-guided ablation therapy used to treat patients suffering from cardiac …

Endothelial dysfunction is a precursor of atherosclerosis. Flow mediated dilatation (FMD) is
a measure of endothelial function. Ultrasound (US) is often used during FMD studies, but US …
