Abstract
Techniques are disclosed related to the compensation of phase offsets introduced into k-space lines as a result of encoding of blip gradients due when motion is present, which may be used for parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques such as blipped SMS or blipped CAIPIRINHA. The compensation of these additional phase offsets may prevent artifacts that would otherwise be present in the reconstructed images as a result of motion during the MRI scanning procedure. The additional phase offsets may be accounted for during the image acquisition phase of the MRI scan or, alternatively, during the image reconstruction phase.
