A new, highly effective slicewise motion correction for BOLD MRI: SLOMOCO

Head motion artifact is a major unsolved problem for fMRI and fcMRI. The primary reason why current methods do not solve motion is the limitation of volume-synchronized or -interpolated motion. Real motion happens at the slice level, and this has been shown to seriously limit accuracy of volumetric measures. Improved correction requires knowledge of slice-level motion, and in a major advance for the field, we present an algorithm that obtains this. Using a motion-injection sequence to acquire realistic motion-corrupted data in cadavers, we show the algorithm obtains the known motion parameters with accuracy on the level of external trackers.
