abstract：:The use of phase correlation to detect rigid-body translational motion is reviewed and applied to individual echotrains in turbo-spin-echo data acquisition. It is shown that when the same echotrain is acquired twice, the subsampled correlation provides an array of delta-functions, from which the motion that occurred b...
