Synopsis

Respiratory and bulk organ motion remains a significant problem in abdominal 3D MRI. Motion compensated image reconstruction is a potential generic solution, but requires solving a large computational problem. In this work we propose to split the image reconstruction into sagittal planes to correct for the majority of respiratory and bulk organ motion. We demonstrate that the proposed method reconstructs high quality free-breathing T1 gradient echo images that are qualitatively comparable to breathhold scans. Future work will assess the feasibility of the method for dynamic contrast enhanced MRI and MR cholangiopancreatography.
