Spherical navigator echo (SNAV) techniques are promising
for measuring rigid body motion in all 6 degrees of
freedom. In this abstract we demonstrate for the first
time - the accuracy of retrospective
preRot-SNAV-correction of motion by interleaving the
SNAVs within a 3D imaging pulse sequence (efgre-SNAV).
We have performed a preliminary evaluation of this
sequence and determined that the interleaved SNAVs
perform comparably to stand alone SNAVs in measurements
of rotation and translations; they agree within 1.0 and
0.43mm. We have also demonstrated successful
retrospective correction of a phantom image.
