“…In the presence of small motion (e.g., respiratory motion or slow head drifts), artifacts are less obvious on QSM, although depiction of small structures such as pial veins in prefrontal regions were considerably improved with PMC (Figure ). Therefore, in line with a recent MR angiography study, these results also highlight the benefits of high resolution and PMC on MR venography.…”

“…Long scan durations and small voxel sizes render high resolution MRI vulnerable to small‐scale subject motion. Therefore, motion correction has been applied retrospectively to GRE with isotropic voxel sizes up to 0.35 mm, and prospectively to MPRAGE up to 0.25 mm and 0.15 mm time‐of‐flight angiography . In this study, QSM from GRE data with 0.33 mm isotropic voxel size was reconstructed.…”

“…Therefore, scans were repeated (back-to-back) with and without motion correction enabled, the latter to approximate uncorrected data. Although such an approach is widely accepted in this context, 31,47 it is noteworthy that subject motion is not entirely reproducible. Additionally, statistical estimates neglect that motion during the acquisition of low k-space frequencies might have a greater impact on image quality than motion Arrows highlight the habenula (green), mammillothalamic tracts (yellow), anterior thalamic nuclei (blue), and substantia nigra nigrosome 1 (pink).…”

Purpose Recent literature has shown the potential of high‐resolution quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) with ultra‐high field MRI for imaging the anatomy, the vasculature, and investigating their magnetostatic properties. Higher spatial resolutions, however, translate to longer scans resulting, therefore, in higher vulnerability to, and likelihood of, subject movement. We propose a gradient‐recalled echo sequence with prospective motion correction (PMC) to address such limitation. Methods Data from 4 subjects were acquired at 7T. The effect of small and large motion on QSM with and without PMC was assessed qualitatively and quantitatively. Full brain QSM and QSM‐based venograms with up to 0.33 mm isotropic voxel size were reconstructed. Results With PMC, motion artifacts in QSM and QSM‐based venograms were largely eliminated, enabling—in both large‐ and small‐amplitude motion regimes—accurate depiction of the cortex, vasculature, and other small anatomical structures that are often blurred as a result of head movement or indiscernible at lower image resolutions. Quantitative analyses demonstrated that uncorrected motion could bias regional susceptibility distributions, a trend that was greatly reduced with PMC. Conclusion Qualitatively, PMC prevented image degradation because of motion artifacts, providing highly detailed QSM images and venograms. Quantitatively, PMC increased the reproducibility of susceptibility measures.

“…Using the motion estimates provided by this external hardware, the MR imaging volume's position and orientation can be updated during scanning, therefore, correcting motion prospectively. This technique allowed the highest resolution whole brain in vivo data acquisition, with up to 250 µm and 150 µm isotropic resolution for anatomic and vascular data, respectively. Because of its accuracy and short latency, MPT is often regarded as a gold standard …”

Purpose To compare motion tracking by two modern methods (fat navigators [FatNavs] and Moiré phase tracking [MPT]) as well as their performance for retrospective correction of very high resolution acquisitions. Methods A direct comparison of FatNavs and MPT motion parameters was performed for several deliberate motion patterns to estimate the agreement between methods. In addition, two different navigator resolution were applied. 0.5 mm isotropic MP2RAGE images with simultaneous MPT and FatNavs tracking were acquired in 9 cooperative subjects with no intentional motion. Retrospective motion corrections based on both tracking modalities were compared qualitatively and quantitatively. The FatNavs impact on quantitative T1 maps was also investigated. Results Both methods showed good agreement within a 0.3 mm/° margin in subjects that moved very little. Higher resolution FatNavs (2 mm) showed overall better agreement with MPT than 4 mm resolution ones, except for fast and large motion. The retrospective motion corrections based on MPT or FatNavs were at par in 33 cases out of 36, and visibly improved image quality compared to the uncorrected images. In separate fringe cases, both methods suffered from their respective potential shortcomings: unreliable marker attachment for MPT and poor temporal resolution for FatNavs. The magnetization transfer induced by the navigator RF pulses had a visible impact on the T1 values distribution, with a shift of the gray and white matter peaks of 12 ms at most. Conclusion This work confirms both FatNavs and MPT as excellent retrospective motion correction methods for very high resolution imaging of cooperative subjects.

Cerebral small vessel disease is a major contributor to brain disorders in older adults. It is associated with a much higher risk of stroke and dementia. Due to a lack of clinical and fluid biomarkers, diagnosing and grading small vessel disease are highly dependent on magnetic resonance imaging. In the past, researchers mostly used brain parenchymal imaging markers to represent small vessel damage, but the relationships between these surrogate markers and small vessel pathologies are complex. Recent progress in high‐resolution magnetic resonance imaging methods, including time‐of‐flight MR angiography, phase‐contrast MR angiography, black blood vessel wall imaging, susceptibility‐weighted imaging, and contrast‐enhanced methods, allow for direct visualization of cerebral small vessel structures. They could be powerful tools for understanding aging‐related small vessel degeneration and improving disease diagnosis and treatment. This article will review progress in these imaging techniques and their application in aging and disease studies. Some challenges and future directions are also discussed.Evidence Level4.Technical Efficacy3.
