• Abstract summary: This study analyzes the influence of a spline-based motion model within an existing rigid motion compensation algorithm for cone-beam CT. Results demonstrate that the choice of motion model crucially influences recoverable frequencies. Ultimately, the optimal motion model is dependent on the imaged anatomy, clinical use case, and scanning protocol.

• Abstract: Computed tomography (CT) relies on precise patient immobilization during image acquisition. Nevertheless, motion artifacts in the reconstructed images can persist. Motion compensation methods aim to correct such artifacts post-acquisition, often incorporating temporal smoothness constraints on the estimated motion patterns. This study analyzes the influence of a spline-based motion model within an existing rigid motion compensation algorithm for cone-beam CT on the recoverable motion frequencies. Results demonstrate that the choice of motion model crucially influences recoverable frequencies. The optimization-based motion compensation algorithm is able to accurately fit the spline nodes for frequencies almost up to the node-dependent theoretical limit according to the Nyquist-Shannon theorem. Notably, a higher node count does not compromise reconstruction performance for slow motion patterns, but can extend the range of recoverable high frequencies for the investigated algorithm. Eventually, the optimal motion model is dependent on the imaged anatomy, clinical use case, and scanning protocol and should be tailored carefully to the expected motion frequency spectrum to ensure accurate motion compensation.

  We propose a novel self-supervised deep learning-based framework, dubbed the Local-All Pass Attention Network (LAPANet) for non-rigid motion estimation. LAPANet was evaluated on cardiac motion estimation across various sampling trajectories and acceleration rates. The achieved high temporal resolution (less than 5 ms) for non-rigid motion opens new avenues for motion detection, tracking and correction in dynamic and real-time MRI applications.

  Off-resonance artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are visual distortions that occur when the actual resonant frequencies of spins within the imaging volume differ from the expected frequencies used to encode spatial information. We propose to resolve these artifacts by lifting the 2D MRI reconstruction problem to 3D, introducing an additional "spectral" dimension to model this off-resonance.
