A nonrigid autofocus motion correction technique is
presented for coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA)
using a free-breathing 3D cones non-Cartesian sequence.
Translational motion measurements from 2D or 3D image
navigators are used to derive a set of candidate motion
trajectories. A bank of motion-compensated CMRA images
is generated using these candidate trajectories, and a
focusing metric is used to reconstruct the final image
by selecting the best-focused pixels. The proposed
technique is shown to improve the depiction of coronary
arteries in volunteer and patient studies.
