3D GRASE PASL is a useful technique for efficiently measuring perfusion in clinical populations such as stroke patients. The technique is sensitive to motion because of the 3D segmented acquisition and successively acquired label and control volumes. This abstract describes an implementation of real-time prospective motion correction using embedded 3D EPI-based volume navigators. The method corrects rigid body head motions without increasing acquisition time and the motion corrected perfusion images are generated immediately on the scanner.
