Pencil beam navigator echo is sensitive to off-resonance, and undesired excitation of subcutaneous fat is caused at 3T. We modified a previously reported 2-point Dixon reconstruction for pencil beam navigator with dual-echo acquisition. Volunteer scans were performed on a 3 T imaging system with the proposed method, and dark bands was reduced in the navigator signal, which resulted in accurate motion detection.
