In diffusion-weighted imaging, multi-shot acquisitions are problematic due to inter-shot inconsistencies of the phase caused by motion during the diffusion-encoding gradients. A model for the motion-induced phase errors in DW-MRI of the brain is presented in which rigid-body and non-rigid-body motion are separated. In the model it is assumed that non-rigid-body motion is due to cardiac pulsation, and that the motion patterns are repeatable from beat to beat. To test the validity of this assumption, the repeatability of non-rigid-body motion-induced phase errors is quantified in three healthy volunteers. Non-rigid-body motion-induced phase was found to significantly correlate (p < 0.05) with pulse-oximeter waveforms in approximately 83 percent of the pixels tested across all slices and subjects. |
