## Abstract A physiological artifact reduction method based on extracting respiratory motion and cardiac pulsation directly from functional MR data is described. In fast low angle shot (FLASH), respiratory cycles are derived utilizing the phase of the center of a navigator echo, in echoβplanar imag

Abstract
Signal phase variations caused by physiology are a major source of instability in fMRI images produced by multiple RF pulses. kβSpace phase variation maps show cyclic phase variations at the frequency of respiration combined with a cardiac variation of lower amplitude. The amplitude of the variation increases with gradient echo time and proximity to the chest, suggesting that the dominant cause of the phase variation is a B~0~ shift (βΌ0.01 ppm) produced by movement of organs in the chest. A simple kβspace phase correction method is proposed and demonstrated for FLASH fMRI. The retrospective method requires no pulse sequence modification, and is more effective than navigator echo correction. Physiological noise is dramatically reduced, especially at inferior slice locations.

Magnetic resonance experiments require the main magnetic field, B(0), to remain very stable. Several external sources, such as moving ferromagnetic objects and/or changing electromagnetic fields, can significantly change the value of B(0) over time.

Through the over sampling of the 96"' line of k-space, we were able to more accurately correct for discontinuity at this point. That is not to say that we applied this Same corr
