Pencil beam navigator echo suffers from undesired
excitation outside the beamfs area when the tracker
placement is inappropriate. We developed a signal
combination method with gradient reversal to cancel out
the effects of the side-lobe with the smallest radius
from the beam center. The proposed method diminished the
undesired signal contamination in both phantom and
volunteer scan, and the resultant navigator-gated
3D-SPGR image had less motion artifacts than the
conventional method.
