Synopsis

Keywords: Motion Correction, Motion Correction, Navigators

Motivation: To bring motion-compensated brain MRI closer to clinical reality by reducing reconstruction times.

Goal(s): Assess the impact of motion-estimation from navigators on initializing retrospective motion-compensated image reconstruction.

Approach: A segmented, magnetization-prepared gradient-echo sequence was modified to include navigators. Motion parameters were estimated from the navigators and used to define motion-segments and to initialize the motion-compensated iterative reconstruction.

Results: Compared to the baseline approach, the navigator-assisted approach allows to use about 50% fewer motion-segments at the same image quality and needs less than quarter of the iterations to converge.

Impact: Making accurate and fast motion-compensated brain MRI without additional devices available will reduce costs associated with non-diagnostic images and resulting rescans.
