Prospective motion correction of segmented diffusion weighted EPI

Recently, a new algorithm was introduced to combine segments of under‐sampled diffusion weighted data using multiplexed sensitivity encoding. While the algorithm provides good results in cooperative volunteers, motion during the data acquisition is not accounted for. In this work, the continuous prospective motion correction of a segmented diffusion weighted acquisition is combined with multiplexed sensitivity encoding.
