D-glucose was recently suggested as a CEST-based biodegradable alternative to gadolinium-based contrast agents. Dynamic glucose-enhanced (DGE) MRI can retrieve information about glucose uptake, determined by tissue perfusion, transport, and metabolism. Motion artefacts in DGE-MRI can be mistaken for CEST effects, while motion correction may erroneously alter true DGE signal. A digital human head phantom based on a realistic glucose infusion protocol was developed to analyse motion artefacts and validate rigid-head retrospective motion correction. This phantom can be used for testing different correction approaches using various motion patterns and contrast responses to better understand these effects in vivo.
