Synopsis

We present a new method called MERLIN for motion corrected silent neuroimaging using zero echo time (ZTE) MRI. Self-navigation is achieved with an interleaved 3D spiral phyllotaxis trajectory to produce image navigators. Retrospective motion correction is then applied to the collected raw data. The acoustic noise of MELIN was less than 4 dBA above ambient levels. A range of different head motion paradigms were evaluated (rotation and nodding), showing greatly improved image quality after motion correction in all cases.
