Synopsis

We present a radar-based approach for prospective motion correction for 2D T1 mapping of the abdomen. An ultra-wideband radar signal is acquired simultaneously but otherwise completely independent of the MR measurement. This allows us to correct for in-plane as well as through-plane motion during MR acquisition. This is especially important for 2D T1 mapping, where motion can cause not only blurring and streaking artifacts, but also inaccurate values when unexcited volumes move through the recorded image plane. It is demonstrated that the method strongly improves T1 maps in phantom and in-vivo scans.
