Steady state of echo-shifted sequences with radiofrequency phase cycling.

abstract：:Head motion is a fundamental problem in functional magnetic resonance imaging and is often a limiting factor in its clinical implementation. This work presents a rigid-body motion correction strategy for echo-planar imaging sequences that uses micro radiofrequency coil "active markers" for real-time, slice-by-slice pr...
