## Abstract A method and a means for retrospectively clustering NMR __k__โspace measurement profiles with respect to both cardiac and respiratory phases were developed to explore strategies for (1) reducing cardiovascular and respiratory flow/motion image artifacts and (2) improving T1 and T2 chara

โฆ Synopsis
A technique for evaluation of respiratory impact on cardiac-gated phase contrast flow acquisitions is proposed. An example study was performed showing the effect of active respiration on CSF flow through the spinal canal.
