Artifact Information |
| NAME |
Motion, phase encoded motion, instability, smearing
|
| DESCRIPTION |
Blurring and ghosting
|
| REASON |
Movement of the imaged object |
| HELP |
Compensation techniques, more averages, anti spasmodic |
|
Patient motion is the largest physiological effect that causes artifacts, often resulting from involuntary movements (e.g. respiration, cardiac motion and blood flow, eye movements and swallowing) and minor subject movements.
Movement of the object being imaged during the sequence results in inconsistencies in phase and amplitude, which lead to blurring and ghosting. The nature of the artifact depends on the timing of the motion with respect to the acquisition. Causes of motion artifacts can also be mechanical vibrations, cryogen boiling, large iron objects moving in the fringe field (e.g. an elevator), loose connections anywhere, pulse timing variations, as well as sample motion. These artifacts appear in the phase encoding direction, independent of the direction of the motion.
Image Guidance
Motion artifacts can be flipped 90° by swapping the phase//frequency encoding directions.
The artifacts can be reduced by using breath holding, cardiac synchronization or respiratory compensation techniques: triggering, gating, retrospective triggering or phase encoding artifact reduction. Flow effects can be reduced by using gradient moment nulling of the first order of flow, gradient moment rephasing or flow compensation, depending of the MRI system.
Peristaltic motion can be reduced with the intravenous injection of an anti-spasmodic (e.g. Buscopan).
By using multiple averages, respiratory motion can be reduced in the same way that multiple averages increase the signal to noise ratio. Noticeable motion averaging is seen when four averages are obtained, six averages are often as good as respiratory compensation techniques and higher averages will continue to improve image quality.
In some cases will help a presaturation of the anatomy that was generating the motion.

Quick Overview
|
|
Movement of the heart causes blurring and ghosting in the images. The artifacts appear in the phase encoding direction, independent of the direction of the motion.
Image Guidance
These artifacts can be reduced by using cardiac synchronization: triggering, gating or retrospective triggering. Maximum reduction can be achieved by using triggering in combination with flow compensation, respiratory triggering or breath hold and regional saturation techniques.

Artifact Information |
| NAME |
Phase encoded motion, motion, phase effect
|
| DESCRIPTION |
Blurring and ghosting
|
| REASON |
Movement of the imaged object |
| HELP |
Compensation techniques, more averages, anti spasmodic, presaturation |
|
This artifact is caused by movements of the patient or organic processes taking place in the body of the patient.
The artifact appears as bright noise, repeating densities or ghosting in the phase encoding direction.
Image Guidance
There are different solutions for reduction of phase encoded motion artifacts.
Cardiac and respiratory gating, breath holding, sedation of the patient,
presaturation pulses for flow artifacts (e.g. arterial pulsation, breathing), fast imaging sequences, etc.

| (SMART) Movement of the chest and abdominal wall also causes blurring and ghosting in the images due to variation of signal during data collection. Using SMART averaging is one way of reducing these artifacts but is not always possible or effective enough. |
