Since a single diffusion-weighted image can suffer from low SNR, multiple DWI repetitions can be averaged to improve SNR, which, however, can introduce blurring due to respiratory motion between different repetitions. Consequently, retrospective gating can be performed to overcome this problem. However, conventional retrospective gating has low SNR efficiency as it discards parts of the data and may result in certain slices to be missing for the desired motion state. This work proposes an efficient Deep Learning-based motion-correction method to improve conventional retrospective gating in free-breathing DWI, resulting in sharper images while maintaining image information from all acquired repetitions.
