The estimation performance of phase-based T2 mapping in the presence of motion was investigated using Bloch equation simulations. The steady-state signal of RF-phase modulated gradient echo imaging in the presence of motion was calculated. Linear, sinusoidal, and random motion were considered for the simulation. The results showed that phase errors induced by motion may lead to underestimation of T2 when using a gradient echo phase-based T2 mapping method.
