Abstract
This work describes the method of generalized projections (MGP) as an imageβbased, postprocessing method to correct for phase inconsistencies caused by echo misalignments in radial imaging. Computer simulations show that MGP can correct for echo shifts, constant phase, and amplitude errors, but the accuracy of the correction is limited, and this accuracy is reduced by the addition of more degrees of freedom. In phantom experiments, MGP performed better than magnitude filtered backprojection and antiβparallel projections correction. Magn Reson Med 54:246β250, 2005. Β© 2005 WileyβLiss, Inc.

## Abstract Most of the diffusion imaging techniques employ strong diffusion gradient pulses of long duration in order to achieve appreciable signal attenuation through the diffusion effect. However, these strong and long gradient pulses make the resultant images extremely sensitive to the motion o
## Abstract A motion artifact reduction method for proton chemical shift imaging (CSI) is presented. The method uses spiralβbased readout gradients for data acquisition. A characteristic of spiralβbased readout gradients is that data are repeatedly sampled at the k~__xy__~ origin. These data points
## Abstract One of the most common artifacts for echoβplanar imaging is the Nyquist ghost, typically overcome with the aid of a reference scan preceding the actual image acquisition. In this work, a nonlinear phase correction obviating the need for a reference scan is proposed. The method is based
