The goal of this work was to use SMS acceleration to speed up the acquisition of EPI navigators. Validation studies were performed in phantoms and in-vivo to demonstrate that SMS accelerated navigators can lead to accurate motion detection over a range of motion values. Furthermore, prospective motion correction was demonstrated by adding SMS navigators into an inversion prepared gradient echo (MPRAGE) sequence.
