Synopsis

Ultra-high field (7T) imaging can deliver images of brain structure and function at previously inaccessible spatial resolutions down to ~100um. However, subject motion, particularly for patients causes blurring which can lose some of the benefit of 7T imaging. The 3D FatNav approach to motion correction embeds short fat-excitation imaging modules in dead-time in an MRI pulse sequence. We are developing a prospective FatNav module for Siemens 7T Terra scanners. We present here a prospective FatNav module that embeds FatNav into a host pulse sequence, that separates FatNav and main image data during online reconstruction, that computes motion updates and that applies these in GRE imaging sequence in real time.
