Claim Text:
1. A method for producing an image of a subject with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, the steps of the method comprising: a) acquiring, with the MRI system, k-space data from a subject; b) acquiring, with the MRI system, navigator data from a subject; c) sorting the acquired k-space data into a plurality of different data bins using the acquired navigator data; d) estimating translational motion correction parameters for each of the plurality of different data bins, each translational motion correction parameter indicating translational motion of the subject that occurred during step a); e) correcting the sorted k-space data in each of the plurality of different data bins by applying the translational motion correction parameters estimated for a respective data bin to the k-space data in that data bin; f) combining the corrected k-space data; and g) reconstructing an image from the corrected k-space data combined in step f).
