Spatial localization for motion-rejected NMR imaging: SLO-MOTION.
A new method of eliminating NMR image artifacts caused by random or sporadic motion is presented. The method uses only NMR techniques. A combination of a spatial localization method and a standard 2DFT imaging sequence is employed and consequently named SLO-MOTION. Alternatively, the sequence may be used to aid motion artifact reduction by postprocessing methods. The feasibility of the method is demonstrated on a phantom.
