Abstract:
1. A method for generating a magnetic resonance (MR) image, the method comprising: acquiring MR data from each of a plurality of RF coils; applying a prospective motion correction method to the MR data for each of the plurality of RF coils including determining a set of motion measurements, the set of motion measurements including a scan plane orientation associated with each data point in the MR data; determining motion changes based on the set of motion measurements and a predetermined threshold; dividing the MR data for each of the plurality of RF coils into a plurality of scan plane orientation groups based on the motion changes; generating a set of unaliasing coefficients for each scan plane orientation group; for each scan plane orientation group, applying a set of unaliasing coefficients to the MR data to synthesize data for each RF coil; for each scan plane orientation group, combining the acquired MR data and synthesized data for each RF coil to generate a scan plane orientation data set; combining each scan plane orientation data set to generate a complete k-space data set; and generating an image based on the complete k-space data set.
