From Breath‐Hold to Free‐Breathing: Possibilities in High‐Resolution Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping ( QSM ) of the Kidney With Respiratory Gating

Article B Peer reviewed Small trial

Key takeaways

Researchers tested a new kidney imaging method on 15 healthy people. They used a special tool to track breathing and reduce motion blur. The study showed that this method works well without needing people to hold their breath. This could make kidney scans easier and more comfortable in the future.
