For fMRI using ASL, multi-PLD acquisitions may have advantages, improving reliability and specificity. However, the varying static-tissue signal in multi-PLD ASL can confound motion estimation when conventional motion correction is applied. In this study, we propose a novel framework using Gaussian processes to address this problem, in which motionless ASL images are predicted, so that they can be used as a reference for motion correction for each ASL volume. Simulation and in-vivo studies show the new motion correction framework using Gaussian Processes eliminates the influence of multi-PLD and provides a suitable reference for each volume.
