    We developed an MRI-compatible ventilator to eliminate breathing motion artifacts in animal studies. This synchronized ventilation improves image quality and quantitative data acquisition for thoracic and abdominal imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Breathing motion significantly degrades the quality of thoracic and abdominal Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI).
    • Motion artifacts interfere with the acquisition of accurate quantitative data in these regions.
    • Existing methods are insufficient to fully mitigate breathing-related image degradation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an MRI-compatible ventilator for minimizing breathing motion artifacts in animal studies.
    • To synchronize ventilation with MRI acquisition sequences for improved image quality.
    • To enhance the utility of MRI for quantitative research in the thorax and upper abdomen.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of an MRI-compatible ventilator with solid-state circuitry for precise control of ventilation parameters.

  • Implementation of internal (0.1-30 Hz) and external triggering, including synchronization with MRI pulse sequences (scan-synchronous ventilation).
  • Combination of scan-synchronous ventilation with cardiac gating to further reduce motion artifacts.

    • Main Results:

    • Scan-synchronous ventilation effectively eliminated breathing motion artifacts in various MRI sequences (spin echo, inversion recovery).
    • Optimized ventilation timing allowed image acquisition during periods of minimal respiratory motion and maximal lung hydrogen density.
    • Combining scan-synchronous ventilation with cardiac gating yielded the best image quality.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed MRI-compatible ventilator successfully minimizes breathing motion artifacts in animal thoracic and abdominal MRI.
    • Scan-synchronous ventilation is a valuable technique for improving image quality and enabling quantitative MRI research.
    • This technology enhances the potential for detailed imaging and analysis of thoracic and abdominal organs in research settings.
