A method and apparatus are provided for reducing motion related imaging artifacts. The method includes determining an internal motion for of two regions of the object, each region having a different level of motion, scanning the first region using a first scan protocol based on the motion, scanning a second region using a second different scan protocol based on the motion, and generating an image of the object based on the first and second regions.

Method and apparatus for reducing image artifacts

A method for generating a self-calibrating parallel multiecho magnetic resonance image is provided. A magnetic resonance imaging excitation is applied. A first echo at a first echo time in a first pattern is acquired. A second echo at a second echo time different from the first echo phase in a second pattern different from the first pattern is acquired. The acquired first echo and acquired second echo are used to generate an image in an image pattern, wherein none of the acquired echoes for generating the image have the same pattern as the image pattern.
