Prospective motion correction of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging data in children

►In this study, we tested the effectiveness of a new prospective motion correction technique as applied to making neuroanatomical measures in school-age children, a movement-prone population. Our method attempts to address the problem of motion at its source by keeping the measurement coordinate system fixed with respect to the subject throughout image acquisition. Unlike many previous techniques, this approach can adjust for both in-plane and through-plane movement, greatly reducing image artifacts without the need for additional equipment. We believe the development of this technique will be of significant interest to many different types of scientists and clinicians, spanning neuroscience, psychology, neurology, and radiology.
