Abstract
A magnetic resonance method and system are provided for generating real-time motion-corrected perfusion images based on pulsed arterial spin labeling (PASL) with a readout sequence such as a 3D gradient and spin echo (GRASE) image data acquisition block. The real-time motion correction is achieved by using a volumetric 3D EPI navigator that is provided during an intrinsic delay in the PASL sequence, which corrects for motion prospectively and does not extend the image data acquisition time as compared to a similar non-motion-corrected imaging procedure.
