Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a non-invasive method to measure blood perfusion. One limitation to ASL is that motion is highly corruptive, and leads to errors in perfusion-weighted images. This is especially problematic for 3D. In this study, the effectiveness of prospective motion correction (PMC) with an optical camera for artefact reduction in a pseudocontinuous ASL sequence with a 3D GRASE readout is investigated. Data are acquired using single-shot and segmented techniques. Segmented readouts are found to be strongly improved with PMC, even for compliant subjects. For single-shot, an intra-readout correction may still be required.
