Background:

Standard magnetic resonance (MR) tagging sequences generate uniform grids across the entire image.
Uniform grids may not be optimal for analyzing localized motion or varying motion characteristics.
Current methods lack flexibility in tailoring tagging grid density to specific regions of interest.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel MR tagging method for creating spatially restricted and variable-density tagging grids.
To enable customized tagging for regions with specific motion patterns.
To offer a more efficient and adaptable approach to MR motion analysis.

Main Methods:

Combines the spatial modulation of magnetization (SPAMM) 1-1 method with selective excitation pulses.
Utilizes selective excitation to confine the tagging grid to predefined regions of interest.
Allows for the generation of different tagging grid densities within each selected region.

Main Results:

Successfully restricted MR tagging grids to specific regions within the image.
Demonstrated the ability to produce variable tagging grid densities in different regions.
The method is efficient and does not require complex or extensive gradient switching.

Conclusions:

The presented technique offers a flexible and efficient way to generate customized MR tagging grids.
This approach enhances the analysis of localized and complex motion patterns in MR imaging.
The method's simplicity makes it accessible for implementation on various MR systems.
