Synopsis

We investigated prospective motion correction (PMC) for brain SMS-EPI using camera-based motion tracking and coil sensitivity interpolation. Phase compensation for the receiver was performed to eliminate motion-induced aliasing artifacts. Coil sensitivity profiles were interpolated and extrapolated with Makima piecewise cubic Hermite algorithm to remove residual SMS reconstruction artifacts caused by the misregistration of coil sensitivities between updated (mobile) SMS slices and stationary single-slice reference profiles.
