Synopsis

Short <5 ms cloverleaf navigators have been demonstrated for prospective motion correction at a rate of 71 Hz in steady-state FLASH. The original cloverleaf approach required a 12 second k-space mapping pre-scan to reliably deal with out-of-plane rotations. Here we investigate simulation of a k-space map based on a low spatial resolution pre-scan. The approach shows potential for real-time detection of rigid-body rotation in the context of real-time self-correction of the cloverleaf orientation.
