Abstract
A method for compensation for object motion during a scan, especially an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is provided. The method involves taking a first data set corresponding to a first focussed image and adding a number of data points to form a slightly higher resolution image. Possible motions can then be modelled on the added data points and the effect on the focussing of the slightly higher resolution image determined using appropriate focus criteria.
