Motion during long-acquisition interleaved EPI sequence was detected using both discontinuity measure defined by the authors and realignment parameters. Retrospective correction of motion artifact was achieved by sub-volume utilization, which takes advantage of the interleaved characteristics of the acquired sequences. Discontinuity measure and realignment parameter respectively detected inter-volume and intra-volume motion, and thereby complemented each other. The proposed method is especially useful in long-acquisition studies where motion can severely affect image quality.
