In a Nutshell
We propose a real-time algorithm to combat the main types of motion that corrupt high-resolution larynx imaging.
Our algorithm combines navigator-based motion correction with a reacquisition strategy.

Laryngeal Motion Types How to mitigate their effects
Intermittent, sporadic motion:– Swallowing, coughing, jolting
Alternative ordering schemes
Continuous motion:–Flow (carotid arteries) Phase encodes L/R–Bulk motion (drift) Physical restraints; Coaching; Navigators–Respiration Diminishing Variance Algorithm (DVA)
If a continuous drift happens, DVA never converges.

Proposed Approach
We propose to first correct the data based on the shift information. We then reacquire encodes whose projections could not be properly corrected.

DVA
Non-rigid motion was simulated by switching from the coronal acquisition to an axial acquisition towards the middle of the scan, for several seconds.

Motion Correction
Towards the middle of the scan, the table was manually translated. It was brought back to its original position several seconds later.

Conclusion & Future Work
Our real-time algorithm corrects for rigid-body motion and reacquires encodes that could not be corrected.
Additional scans are needed to validate the robustness of the method in vivo.
Future work will improve the flexibility of the algorithm and improve the user interface.
