What Does GASPE Stand For?

GASPE stands for Gated Spin Echo

GASPE, or Gated Spin Echo, is an advanced magnetic resonance imaging technique that enhances image quality by synchronizing data acquisition with the cardiac cycle. This method minimizes motion artifacts, particularly in cardiac imaging, allowing for clearer visualization of anatomical structures and improved diagnostic accuracy. GASPE is particularly beneficial in scenarios where patient movement could compromise image integrity, providing clinicians with reliable and detailed diagnostic information.
