The phase-correction navigators of EPI sequences have
previously be shown to enable real-time estimation and
prospective correction of resonance frequency drift. In
the present work we describe a novel algorithm that
provides more accurate estimates than previous methods.
We also demonstrate how a small modification to our EPI-based
volumetric navigator (vNavs), allows us to use it not
just for prospective motion correction, but also
prospective frequency correction. Results from a vNav-enabled
MPRAGE sequence are shown.
