To Love of Useful Clory: Prince Henry the Navigator and the School at Sagres.
A casual observation of Europe just prior to the sixteenth century period of westward expansion and Renaissance gives the impression of a continent in an ignorant cocoon-like state of suspension between the glories of its past and the brilliance of its future.

Real-time motion and main magnetic field correction in MR spectroscopy using an EPI volumetric navigator
In population groups where subjects do not lie still during Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) scans, real-time volume of interest (VOI), frequency, and main magnetic field (B0) shim correction may be necessary. This work demonstrates firstly that head movement causes significant B0 disruption …

Automobile navigation methods: effectiveness, efficiency, and strategy
… map, and a moving-map navigational display (the navigator). Thirty-two driver-subjects of both genders, and wide ranges of age (18-73) and driving experience (2,000 to 40,000 miles per year) navigated along public roadways for this research using a specially instrumented automobile. A variety of …

A control system approach to subject specific prospective respiratory motion correction in cardiac MRI
… for high-resolution cardiac MRI. Diaphragmatic navigator gating with a 5mm acceptance window is most commonly used to address this but has an inherently low respiratory efficiency that is further compromised by respiratory drift. A novel method is presented that uses data from multiple …
