Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a non-invasive method
to measure blood perfusion. One limitation to ASL is
that motion is highly corruptive, and leads to errors in
perfusion-weighted images. This is especially
problematic for 3D. In this study, the effectiveness of
prospective motion correction (PMC) with an optical
camera for artefact reduction in a pseudocontinuous ASL
sequence with a 3D GRASE readout is investigated. Data
are acquired using single-shot and segmented techniques.
Segmented readouts are found to be strongly improved
with PMC, even for compliant subjects. For single-shot,
an intra-readout correction may still be required.
