We present initial results from a novel method for real-time motion correction in MPRAGE imaging. We use high-speed, 32^3 EPI volumes as navigators, interspersed in the dead time of the MPRAGE sequence. We estimate rigid body motion from the EPI volumes and correct the MPRAGE's acquisition location before each readout block.
