MotionScout - Motion Artifact Correction Imaging Systems - Brochure

Motion during scan induces image quality degradation (blurred images, motion "ghost" artifacts) to a degree that may require repetition of the scan. The sensitivity to motion increases with newer imaging like functional and diffusional MRI and with higher resolution scanners. As 20-30% of all scans are affected by motion, the direct annual financial burden of motion artifacts, due to the need to repeat scans, is estimated at $1 Billion in the USA alone.
