Figure 1.
The sequence diagram for free-breathing navigator-guided PS-DIR utilizing 2D spiral imaging of the coronary vessel wall with double inversion recovery black blood preparation and phase-sensitive lumen reconstruction. Every cardiac cycle the black blood preparation is directly followed by a navigator-restore pulse to restore the inverted magnetization at the navigator site. A navigator signal is acquired before data acquisition to accept or reject data. Data acquisition starts at the subject-specific rest period trigger delay (TD) using the water-selective pulse followed by a single shot spiral interleaf.
