The present study combines retrospective motion
correction and GRAPPA reconstruction. We propose a
technique that performs several alternations of GRAPPA
interpolation and motion correction steps, suppressing
the artifacts caused by motion over the course of the
optimization. Motion parameters are estimated directly
from the data with the aid of free induction decay
navigators. The proposed algorithm does not require a
priori knowledge of coil sensitivity profiles and can be
applied retrospectively to data acquired with generic
sequences such as MP-RAGE. The algorithm was tested on
motion corrupted brain images of healthy volunteers,
performing controlled head movement during the scan.
Results demonstrate a significant improvement in image
quality.
