Figure 1. Two schemes of respiration control without external respiration triggering. A: Illustration for navigation scans. A navigation band can be placed over the dome of the liver, respiration motion is detected from corresponding projection of time series profile, and imaging acquisition is triggered or retrospectively reconstructed when motion is under customer defined acceptance ratio; B: in rat acute pancreatitis model, oversampled BLADE protocol can be applied for T1-weighted contrast-enhanced imaging, pancreatic lobes and surrounding tissues or organs are clearly depicted on image. FISP: fast imaging with steady state precession; C: colon; L: liver; P: pancreas; Si: small intestine; St: stomach; arrow head: duodenum
