Subject motion during MR scans can cause motion
artifacts in magnitude and phase images, and impair
subsequent quantitative susceptibility mapping and R2*
analysis. We propose using an autofocusing-based fully
data-driven retrospective rigid motion correction
approach (GradMC) to suppress the motion artifacts in
both magnitude and phase images prior to computing QSM
and R2*. Our experiments demonstrate the improved
accuracy of QSM and R2* techniques in the presence of
subject motion, and open promising directions for the
future research.
