Gradient delay often leads to misalignment of k-space data, which induces artifacts on reconstructed images. As many self-gated motion correction methods largely depend on central k-space data, misalignment might affect motion state estimation and reconstruction. In order to acquire robust motion states and improve motion resolved reconstruction, we propose a workflow incorporating gradient delay correction, robust motion extraction, and motion resolved reconstruction. We tested our method on in vivo volunteer data, and demonstrate the improvement over a reconstruction that does not account for these delays.
