Claim:
1. A system for determining motion correction data for use in diffusion MR imaging of an anatomical volume, comprising: an RF (Radio Frequency) signal generator configured to generate RF excitation pulses in an anatomical region of interest to facilitate subsequent acquisition of associated RF echo data; and a magnetic field gradient generator configured to generate anatomical slice specific magnetic field gradients for phase encoding and readout RF data acquisition, wherein said RF signal generator and said gradient generator are configured to sequentially acquire a first slice set and a second slice sets in a single first direction through said volume, wherein each of the first slice set and the second slice set comprises a plurality of individual diffusion image slices, wherein the slices of the first slice set are spatially interleaved with the slices of the second slice set within said volume, and wherein said RF signal generator and said gradient generator are further configured to acquire said second slice set by providing, a low flip angle RF pulse successively followed by:
