Motion is still one of the major extrinsic factors degrading image quality. Automated detection of these artifacts is of interest, (i) if suitable prospective or retrospective correction techniques are not available/applicable, (ii) if human experts who judge the achieved quality are not present, or (iii) if a manual quality analysis of large databases from epidemiological cohort studies is impracticable. A convolutional neural network assesses and localizes the motion artifacts. This work extends the previously published method by proposing a general architecture for a whole-body scenario with varying contrast weightings. High accuracies of >90% were achieved in a volunteer study.
