Abstract

MRI cine studies of active physiological joint movement can provide additional functional information as a supplement to standard examinations. With the ankle joint as an example, it is shown that it is possible to measure kinematic MRI presentations of active joint movement. A pneumatic pressure transducer, a respiratory monitor, and an active differentiator transformed the skin muscle shifting of periodically performed joint movement to a pseudo-ECG, which finally triggered the MRI scanner as in cardiac cine MR imaging.
