Synopsis

3D FatNavs were used to provide a rapid, robust pre-scan to calibrate motion estimation from pilot-tone. The amount of training data required to make reliable forward predictions was investigated. This method robustly predicts motion within a dataset and can be applied to other datasets with lower accuracy. Improving the accuracy and speed of this method is ongoing work. This independent method of motion estimation shows promise for rapid calibration as part of routine examinations and paves the way to offer motion correction at ultra-high field where motion-correction is particularly relevant.
