K-space and image space combination for motion artifact correction in multicoil multishot diffusion weighted imaging

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2008:2008:1675-8. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2008.4649497.

Abstract

Motion during diffusion encodings leads to phase errors in different shots of a multishot acquisition. Phase differences in k-space data among shots result in phase cancellation artifacts in the reconstructed image. Due to aliasing of the phase from under-sampled regions of the shot, correction of the phase error using direct low-resolution phase subtraction is incomplete. We introduce a new k-space and image-space combination (KICT) method for motion artifacts cancellation that avoids incomplete phase error correction. Further, the method preserves the phase of the object, which is important for parallel imaging applications.
