Real-Time Filtering with Sparse Variations for Head Motion in Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

ABSTRACT: Estimating a time-varying signal, such as head motion from magnetic resonance imaging data, becomes particularly challenging in the face of other temporal dynamics such as functional activation. This paper describes a new Kalman filter-like framework that includes a sparse residual term in the measurement model. This additional term allows the extended Kalman filter to generate real-time motion estimates suitable for prospective motion correction when such dynamics occur. An iterative augmented Lagrangian algorithm similar to the alterating direction method of multipliers implements the update step for this Kalman filter. This paper evaluates the accuracy and convergence rate of this iterative method for small and large motion in terms of its sensitivity to parameter selection. The included experiment on a simulated functional magnetic resonance imaging acquisition demonstrates that the resulting method improves the maximum Youden's J index of the time series analysis by 2-3% versus retrospective motion correction, while the sensitivity index increases from 4.3 to 5.4 when combining prospective and retrospective correction.

Project description:The aims of this study were to observe the pattern of transient motion after gadoxetic acid administration including incidence, onset, and duration, and to evaluate the clinical feasibility of free-breathing gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver magnetic resonance imaging using golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP) imaging with respiratory gating.In this institutional review board-approved prospective study, 59 patients who provided informed consents were analyzed. Free-breathing dynamic T1-weighted images (T1WIs) were obtained using GRASP at 3 T after a standard dose of gadoxetic acid (0.025 mmol/kg) administration at a rate of 1 mL/s, and development of transient motion was monitored, which is defined as a distinctive respiratory frequency alteration of the self-gating MR signals. Early arterial, late arterial, and portal venous phases retrospectively reconstructed with and without respiratory gating and with different temporal resolutions (nongated 13.3-second, gated 13.3-second, gated 6-second T1WI) were evaluated for image quality and motion artifacts. Diagnostic performance in detecting focal liver lesions was compared among the 3 data sets.Transient motion (mean duration, 21.5 ± 13.0 seconds) was observed in 40.0% (23/59) of patients, 73.9% (17/23) of which developed within 15 seconds after gadoxetic acid administration. On late arterial phase, motion artifacts were significantly reduced on gated 13.3-second and 6-second T1WI (3.64 ± 0.34, 3.61 ± 0.36, respectively), compared with nongated 13.3-second T1WI (3.12 ± 0.51, P < 0.0001). Overall, image quality was the highest on gated 13.3-second T1WI (3.76 ± 0.39) followed by gated 6-second and nongated 13.3-second T1WI (3.39 ± 0.55, 2.57 ± 0.57, P < 0.0001). Only gated 6-second T1WI showed significantly higher detection performance than nongated 13.3-second T1WI (figure of merit, 0.69 [0.63-0.76]) vs 0.60 [0.56-0.65], P = 0.004).Transient motion developed in 40% (23/59) of patients shortly after gadoxetic acid administration, and gated free-breathing T1WI using GRASP was able to consistently provide acceptable arterial phase imaging in patients who exhibited transient motion.
