  • Motion corrected magnetic resonance imaging
    Patent number: 7348776
    Abstract: A method of correcting for motion in magnetic resonance images of an object detected by a plurality of signal receiver coils comprising the steps of acquiring a plurality of image signals with the plurality of receiver coils, determining motion between sequential image signals relative to a reference, applying rotation and translation to image signals to align image signals with the reference, determining altered coil sensitivities due to object movement during image signal acquisition, and employing parallel imaging reconstruction of the rotated and translated image signals using the altered coil sensitivities in order to compensate for undersampling in k-space.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 1, 2006
    Date of Patent: March 25, 2008
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University
    Inventors: Murat Aksoy, Chunlei Liu, Rexford Newbould, Roland Bammer
