A control system approach to subject specific prospective respiratory motion correction in cardiac MRI

Includes bibliographical references. === Respiratory motion of the heart is a problem for high-resolution cardiac MRI. Diaphragmatic navigator gating with a 5mm acceptance window is most commonly used to address this but has an inherently low respiratory efficiency that is further compromised by res...
