Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Imaging
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Small Animal Models

Background:

  • Cardiac MRI in small animals faces challenges due to short cardiac cycles and small dimensions.
  • Prospectively gated techniques are established but may not suit all applications.
  • Retrospective gating offers potential advantages for specific small animal imaging scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of retrospective gating for cardiac MRI in mice.
  • To compare image quality between retrospective and prospectively gated cardiac MRI in small animals.
  • To demonstrate the application of retrospective gating for simultaneous multi-mouse cardiac imaging.

Main Methods:

  • A three-dimensional imaging protocol was employed for cardiac MRI in a mouse model.
