title: MRI with TRELLIS: a novel approach to motion correction.
abstract: A motion-correcting pulse sequence and reconstruction algorithm, termed TRELLIS, is presented. k-Space is filled using orthogonal overlapping strips and the directions for phase- and frequency-encoding are alternated such that the frequency-encode direction always runs lengthwise along each strip. The overlap between strips is used both for signal averaging and to produce a system of equations that, when solved, quantifies the rotational and translational motion of the object. Results obtained from simulations with computer-generated phantoms, a purpose-built moving phantom, and in human subjects show the method is effective. TRELLIS offers some advantages over existing techniques in that k-space is sampled uniformly and all acquired data are used for both motion detection and image reconstruction.
