Dynamic Radial VIBE (DRV) DCE-MRI can provide high spatio-temporal resolution in the dynamic series of volumes used to evaluate the kidney function. However, bulk motion during the scan corrupts the volumes and deteriorates the quality of the kidney function estimation. We introduce a bulk-motion robust image reconstruction technique to mitigate the effects of motion. Our algorithm detects corrupted k-space data, reconstructs the volumes without signal dropout and aligns them. We applied this approach on non-sedated babies undergoing feed-and-wrap DCE-MRI with DRV. Our results show that our method improves the image quality and the estimation of the kidney function parameters.
