  • Title: Correcting bulk in-plane motion artifacts in MRI using the point spread function.
    Author: Lin W, Wehrli FW, Song HK.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Med Imaging; 2005 Sep; 24(9):1170-6. PubMed ID: 16156354.
    Abstract:
    A technique is proposed for correcting both translational and rotational motion artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging without the need to collect additional navigator data or to perform intensive postprocessing. The method is based on measuring the point spread function (PSF) by attaching one or two point-sized markers to the main imaging object. Following the isolation of a PSF marker from the acquired image, translational motion could be corrected directly from the modulation transfer function, without the need to determine the object's positions during the scan, although the shifts could be extracted if desired. Rotation is detected by analyzing the relative displacements of two such markers. The technique was evaluated with simulations, phantom and in vivo experiments.
