The motion-robustness of a 3D wave-encoded SPGR sequence was evaluated by simulating the acquisition of a Gaussian-profile object with periodic motion. Compared with non-wave-encoded sampling, wave-encoding provides better motion property because of wider diffusion of motion artifacts. A motion-correction method was also proposed for wave-encoding based on 3D translational motion estimates. This motion-correction method is demonstrated to effectively reduce motion artifacts in wave-encoded scans.
