Claim One:
1. A medical imaging system, comprising: a memory which stores magnetic resonance k-space data, the magnetic resonance k-space data including non-rigid motion defects; one or more processors configured to: reconstruct a first image from the magnetic resonance k-space data which includes a high signal to noise ratio and motion artifacts; detect and reject portions of the k-space data which include non-rigid motion defects; reconstruct a second image from non-rejected portions of the k-space data and the first image using partial parallel reconstruction, the second image including reduced motion artifacts and a lower signal to noise ratio relative to the first image; identify locations of motion artifacts from the first and second images; reconstruct an artifact reduced or free image using the first image, the identified locations of the motion artifacts, and the non-rejected k-space data.
