## Abstract For diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging and under circumstances where patient movement can be modeled as rigid body motion, it is shown both theoretically and experimentally that translations and rotations produce phase errors which are zero‐ and first‐order, respectively, in

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A new approach to understanding and reducing motion artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is introduced. This paper presents a novel technique for correcting generalized motion artifacts arising from translation, rotation, dilation, and compression, or any combination thereof. We also describe a new pulse sequence and a specialized postprocessing technique required to suppress these motion artifacts. The correction algorithm corrects for generalized motion. The theoreticial basis of the correction scheme is founded upon the (k,t)‐space formalism and the concept of pulse sequence contrast mapping functions. The proposed (k,t) formalism is based on the Fourier projection slice theorem and allows us to determine how motion artifacts arise. The correction technique currently suffers from some spatial resolution and signal‐to‐noise ratio limitations, and works better for small object than large objects. These problems will be investigated in subsequent studies.

Various compensation methods for different types of motion during MR image acquisition have been proposed. Presented here is a postprocessing scheme for eliminating artifacts due to linear, intra-slice motion of known velocity. The data for each phase encoding or "view" acquired from a moving object
The multidimensional partition model, which combines the k-space description of magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequences with a partition concept, has been developed to model flow-related effects. A partition represents the magnetization created due to excitation by a given radiofrequency pulse. I
