Summary
This study introduces a novel framework to correct head motion in multiparametric quantitative MRI (MP-qMRI). The method significantly reduces motion artifacts, improving the accuracy of quantitative neuroimaging maps.
Area of Science:
- Neuroimaging
- Medical Physics
- Quantitative MRI
Background:
- Multiparametric quantitative MRI (MP-qMRI) offers detailed 3D brain tissue characterization.
- Involuntary head motion is a major challenge, causing artifacts and inaccurate quantitative parameter estimation in MP-qMRI.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a motion-corrected MP-qMRI framework.
- To improve the accuracy and reduce artifacts in quantitative neuroimaging due to head motion.
Main Methods:
- Integration of rapid navigator-based motion tracking with motion-compensated implicit neural modeling.
- Utilizing spatiotemporal controlled aliasing (k-t CAIPI) for efficient motion estimation.
- Embedding motion estimates into the signal model to recover corrected quantitative maps.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated substantial reduction in motion-induced artifacts in 3D MP-qMRI.
- Showcased improved quantitative accuracy for T1, T2, and T2* maps.
- Validated robustness in retrospective, simulation, and in vivo experiments, including a patient with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3.
Conclusions:
- The proposed framework offers a principled and flexible approach to motion correction in 3D MP-qMRI.
- Establishes a generalizable strategy for motion-resilient quantitative neuroimaging.
- Enhances the reliability of MP-qMRI for clinical applications and research.
