Markerless high-frequency prospective motion correction for neuroanatomical MRI.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To integrate markerless head motion tracking with prospectively corrected neuroanatomical MRI sequences and to investigate high-frequency motion correction during imaging echo trains. METHODS:A commercial 3D surface tracking system, which estimates head motion by registering point cloud reconstructions of the face, was used to adapt the imaging FOV based on head movement during MPRAGE and T2 SPACE (3D variable flip-angle turbo spin-echo) sequences. The FOV position and orientation were updated every 6 lines of k-space (< 50 ms) to enable "within-echo-train" prospective motion correction (PMC). Comparisons were made with scans using "before-echo-train" PMC, in which the FOV was updated only once per TR, before the start of each echo train (ET). Continuous-motion experiments with pha
