## Abstract Navigator echoes provide an effective method to monitor physiological motion, allowing motion artifacts to be suppressed by modifying the data acquisition accordingly. The displacement can be measured directly from the navigator phase using an algorithm suggested by Ahn and Cho (IEEE Tr

Abstract
Algorithms to reliably detect motion in navigator echoes are crucial to many MRI motion suppression techniques. The accuracy of these algorithms is affected by noise and deformation of navigator echo profile caused by physiologic motion. This study compared the performance of algorithms based on correlation and least squares for extracting displacement information from motion‐monitoring navigator echoes, using computer simulation and in vivo imaging. The least squares algorithm was determined to be of higher accuracy than the correlation algorithm against errors caused by noise and profile deformation.

## Abstract Spherical navigator (SNAV) echoes show promise in correcting for three‐dimensional rigid‐body motion. In this paper, several important parameters in the design and performance of the SNAV technique are discussed, including a novel sampling strategy, the optimal __k__‐space radius and sa
## Abstract A modification of the classical navigator echo (NAV) technique is presented whereby both 2D translational motion components are computed from a single navigator line. Instead of acquiring the NAV at the center of the __k__‐space, a __k__~__x__~ line is acquired off‐center in the phase‐e
