The linearized geometric solution (LGS) is known for demodulating balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) MRI signal of its dependence on magnetic field inhomogeneity, but has also recently shown signs of mitigating motion artifact. Here the extent of motion artifact correction by the LGS is explored via simulations of variable motion schedules, image noise, and T1/T2 ratio. It corrects motion artifact to a greater extent than a complex image averaging solution, except in scenarios of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This study motivates clinical applications of bSSFP in imaging fluid structures that normally suffer from motion and/or field inhomogeneity artifacts.
