Problem: Slow Phase Encoding
• Acquisition slower than physiological motion.– motion artefacts.
• Phase encode FOV just large enough to prevent wrap around.– minimises acquisition time,– Nyquist: k-space varies rapidly making interpolation
difficult.

Interpolation, Gridding and Missing Data
FFT requires regularly spaced samples.Rapid variations of k-space make interpolation difficult.
K-space missing in some regions.

Prospective Motion CorrectionMotion determined during scan & plane updated using
gradients.• Prevents pie-slice missing data.• Removes need for interpolation.• Prevents through-slice loss of data.• Can instigate re-acquisition.• Reduces reliance on post-processing.
• Introduces relative motion of coil sensitivities, distortions & field maps.
• Difficult to accurately measure tissue motion in 3D.• Gradient update can only compensate for affine motion.

Non-Rigid Motion
• Most physiological motion is non-rigid.• No direct correction in k-space or using gradients.• A flexible approach is to solve a matrix equation
based on the forward model of the acquisition and motion.

• Matrix acts on pixels, not coordinates.• One pixel rigid shift – shifted diagonal.• Half pixel rigid shift – diagonal band, width depends
on interpolation kernel.• Shuffling (non-rigid) motion - permutation matrix.

becomes a diagonal matrix.• FFT can be performed by matrix multiplication.• Sampling is just selection from k-space vector.

Conjugate Gradient Solution
• Efficient: does not require E to be computed or stored.
• User must supply functions to return result of matrix-vector products
• We know the correspondence between matrix-vector multiplications and image operations, hence we can code the functions.

The Complex Transpose EH
• Reverse the order of matrix operations and take Hermitian transpose.
• Sampling matrix is real and diagonal hence unchanged by complex transpose.
• FFT changes to iFFT.• Coil sensitivity matrix is diagonal, hence take complex
conjugate of elements.• Motion matrix ...

Complex transpose of motion matrix
Options:• Approximate by the inverse motion transform.• Approximate the inverse transform by negating
displacements.• Compute exactly by assembling the sparse matrix
(if not too large and sparse).• Perform explicitly using for-loops and
accumulating the results in an array.

Summary: Forward Model Method
• Efficient Conjugate Gradient solution.• Incorporates physics of acquisition including parallel
imaging.• Copes with missing data or shot rejection.• Interpolates in the (more benign) image domain.• Can include other artefact causes e.g. phase errors in
multi-shot DWI, flow artefacts, coil motion, contrast uptake.• Can be combined with prospective acquisition.• Often regularised by terminating iterations.• Requires knowledge of motion.

Outlook
• Prospective corrections limited to affine motion.
• Reconstruction times, 3D and memory still challenging.
• Expect intelligent use of prior knowledge: sparsity, motion models, atlases etc.
• Optimum solution target dependent. Power in combined acquisition and reconstruction methods.
