Abstract
Patient motion during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can produce significant artifacts in a reconstructed image. Since measurements are made in the spatial frequency domain ('k-space'), rigid-body translational motion results in phase errors in the data samples while rotation causes location errors. A method is presented to detect and correct these errors via a modified sampling strategy, thereby achieving more accurate image reconstruction. The strategy involves sampling vertical and horizontal strips alternately in k-space and employs phase correlation within the overlapping segments to estimate translational motion. An extension, also based on correlation, is employed to estimate rotational motion. Results from simulations with computer-generated phantoms suggest that the algorithm is robust up to realistic noise levels. The work is being extended to physical phantoms. Provided that a reference image is available and the object is of limited extent, it is shown that a measure related to the amount of energy outside the support can be used to objectively compare the severity of motion-induced artifacts.
