From: Respiratory- and cardiac-triggered three-dimensional sheath inked rapid acquisition with refocused echoes imaging (SHINKEI) of the abdomen for magnetic resonance neurography of the celiac plexus

Fig. 2

Typical axial-acquired image, centred at the level of the celiac trunk, obtained with 3D T2-weighted TSE and 3D SHINKEI sequences in the healthy volunteer #1. 3D SHINKEI images with respiratory triggering only at 1.5 T (c) and 3 T (d) show significant motion artifacts: blurring, signal loss, and noise band in phase direction. These artifacts mostly disappeared after adding cardiac synchronisation to the 3D T2-weighted TSE sequence at 1.5 T (a) and 3 T (b) or to the 3D-SHINKEI sequence at 1.5 (e) and 3 T (f). The right (solid white arrows) and left ganglia of the celiac plexus (dashed white arrow) are clearly distinguishable as hyperintense signals
