A rigid real-time prospective motion-corrected multiparametric mapping technique was developed by inserting orthogonal spiral navigators into wait times of a multiparametric imaging technique, 3D-QALAS. The effects of motion correction on the quantitative estimates of a standardized phantom and in volunteers with various head motions were evaluated. Our results demonstrated that the proposed technique did not affect the accuracy of T1 and T2 quantification in vitro, and improved the repeatability and accuracy of T1 and T2 quantification with head motions during scans compared with those without motion correction. The proposed technique may provide robust three-dimensional multiparametric whole-brain mapping for head motions.
