Navigator-gated free-breathing 2D radial cardiac joint T1–T2 mapping

Purpose: To implement a navigator-gated free-breathing 2D radial joint T1–T2 mapping technique for the myocardium at 3T, and to characterize the impact of the navigator rejection on the precision and accuracy of the T1 and T2 maps. Methods: The proposed te ...

Comparison between fast-interrupted steady-state (FISS) and rapid water-excitation pulses for fat signal suppression in free-running whole-heart MRI at 1.5 T

Jérôme Yerly

Background: Free-running whole-heart MRI using balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) sequences offer high SNR and myocardial tissue contrast. However, an inadequate fat signal suppression may introduce artifacts and is particularly challenging with ...

Automated adaptive detection and reconstruction of quiescent cardiac phases in free-running whole-heart acquisitions using Synchronicity Maps from PHysiological mOtioN In Cine (SYMPHONIC) MRI

Jérôme Yerly

Purpose: To reconstruct whole-heart images from free-running acquisitions through automated selection of data acceptance windows (ES: end-systole, MD: mid-diastole, ED: end-diastole) that account for heart rate variability (HRV). Methods: SYMPHONIC was dev ...

Free-running 5D whole-heart MRI for isotropic cardiac function measurements at 3T without contrast agents

Jérôme Yerly

Purpose: To optimize and characterize an interrupted 5D free-running framework at 3 T for detailed cardiac function assessment without the use of breath holding or contrast agents. Methods: A free-running 3D radial gradient echo sequence was periodically i ...

How low can we go? The effect of acquisition duration on cardiac volume and function measurements in free-running cardiac and respiratory motion-resolved five-dimensional whole-heart cine magnetic resonance imaging at 1.5T

Jérôme Yerly

Background: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for assessing cardiac volumes and function using two-dimensional (2D) breath-held cine imaging. This technique, however, requires a reliable electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, repetitive ...

Measuring biventricular function and left atrial volume in a single five-dimensional whole-heart cardiovascular magnetic resonance scan at 0.55T

Jérôme Yerly

Background: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has not seen widespread adoption beyond large urban academic centers. The reasons for this limited uptake include the cost, time-intensive nature, and special expertise of CMR. Self-navigated five-dimensi ...

Exploring the limits of scan time reduction for ferumoxytol-enhanced whole-heart angiography in congenital heart disease patients

Jérôme Yerly

Background: One major challenge in cardiovascular magnetic resonance is reducing scan times to be more compatible with clinical workflows. In 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), strategies to shorten scan times mostly rely on ECG‐triggering or self-naviga ...

Compressed sensing with signal averaging for improved sensitivity and motion artifact reduction in fluorine-19 MRI

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Jérôme Yerly, Ruud van Heeswijk, Elena Najdenovska

Fluorine-19 (F-19) MRI of injected perfluorocarbon emulsions (PFCs) allows for the non-invasive quantification of inflammation and cell tracking, but suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio and extended scan time. To address this limitation, we tested the ...

3-Dimensional magnetic resonance imaging of the freely moving human eye

Jérôme Yerly, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Lorenzo Di Sopra, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Silvio Ionta, Benedetta Franceschiello, David Zeugin

Eye motion is a major confound for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in neuroscience or ophthalmology. Currently, solutions toward eye stabilisation include participants fixating or administration of paralytics/anaesthetics. We developed a novel MRI protoco ...
