Synopsis

Keywords: Motion Correction, Motion Correction

Motivation: Motion remains a common source of artifacts in brain imaging.

Goal(s): To facilitate retrospective motion correction across all 2D TSE contrasts.

Approach: A 1-2 sec pre-scan (scout) using a saturation preparation and FLASH readout precedes the TSE imaging scan and is then compared to two additional rapid FLASH k-space encoding lines (guidance lines) inserted after every TSE echo train. The contrast-matched scout and guidance line data provide fully separable estimation of motion parameters shot-by-shot using a SENSE+motion model.

Results: In vivo, rapid motion trajectory estimation and robust artifact mitigation is demonstrated in T1w, T2w and FLAIR TSE scans with instructed subject motion.

Impact: We present a generalized strategy for retrospective motion correction in 2D TSE brain imaging using an ultra-fast pre-scan and the repeated acquisition of two additional k-space lines. This facilitates rapid motion estimation and robust artifact mitigation across all TSE contrasts.
