navigator echo

a method of respiratory gating which see, used in magnetic resonance imaging to limit respiratory motion artifact; a signal is derived from the top of the diaphragm, and image data are collected only when it is in a selected range.

The DWI protocol can be used with a variety of MRI pulse sequences, including fast spin echo single shot, high-speed STEAM (stimulated echo acquisition mode) imaging, incoherent gradient echo, magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo, echo-planar imaging and navigator echo.

The navigator echo can be added to any pulse sequence to decrease motion artifact.

Navigator echo is a standard spin echo sequence that can be used with any of the pulse sequences previously described to decrease motion artifact.
