Respiratory motion correction has been proposed to improve scan efficiency and ensure high image quality for 3D cardiac MRI. Nevertheless, these techniques often require dedicated data acquisition and cannot necessarily capture intra-cycle variations of the breathing. Here we compare three different surrogate signals (“pilot tone”, respiratory belt and MR-navigator) for a surrogate-based motion correction approach which provides motion information with high temporal resolution and can be combined with a wide range of different MR acquisition schemes. The temporal stability of these surrogates is assessed and motion correction of a 3D cardiac MR scan is demonstrated.
