Claim One:
1. A method for reducing the effect of object movements along MRI imaging; the method comprising steps of: a. acquiring a sequence of N MRI consecutive images CI n of an object; b. storing on a computer readable medium (CRM) for each of said CI n : at least one parameter p indicating spatial image orientation at which said image was taken; c. analyzing said sequence of said CI n for detection of said object movement; and tagging thereby K M images CI k M of at least one movement M of said object; d. for each of said movement M, determining the following using said tagged images CI k M : a. two of the following: the movement starting time T MS , the movement ending time T ME , and time length of said movement T M ; b. the movement spatial image orientation parameter P MS at the beginning of the movement, wherein said method additionally comprising for each said M, whose T M is shorter from a predetermined time length PT, steps of e. acquiring a sequence of K M MRI consecutive images NCI k M starting at said P MS ; and ending after said T M ; f. replacing said NCI k M with said CI k M in said sequence; g. repeating steps (c)-(f) until no more movements whose T M is shorter than said PT can be detected; thereby, producing an image sequence with reduced object-movement in MRI imaging.
