A new navigator concept is presented which enables the measurement of accurate rigid-body motion information from spherical navigators at extremely small k-space radii. This is achieved by using a 3D Lissajous navigator trajectory and a rotation estimation algorithm known from computer vision. The new method provides motion information with sufficient accuracy and precision for many motion correction techniques and significantly outperforms current spherical navigator methods in terms of acquisition and computation time.
