Abstract

A technique that offers sensitivity to perfusion and diffusion while being resistant to bulk tissue motion artifacts that complicate such measurements is demonstrated. The impact of bulk motion artifact is addressed via computer simulation of phase errors propagated to perfusion and diffusion estimates when conventional phase-encoded MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) acquisition is employed. Results of localized measurement bulk motion induced phase instability are shown to be substantial even for cardiac gated human brain imaging. Motion artifact is remedied via orthogonal slice-selection and spatial frequency encoding in conjunction with phase insensitive signal averaging. Examples of perfusion and diffusion values measured in the human brain by this method are presented.
