Motion correction with a model-target (MoCoMo) has been used in DCE-MRI to overcome the problem of changes in image contrast, but the method applies in principle to any other quantitative MRI method. The aim of this study is to demonstrate this hypothesis by applying the algorithm to renal DCE, DTI, T1 and T2-mapping in human subjects. The results show that MoCoMo is effective in removing even major motion effects in all 4 modalities and does not affect data where no motion is present. We conclude that MoCoMo is a suitable candidate for universal motion correction across all functional MRI modalities.
