3D FatNavs are rapid acquisitions of MRI fat-volumes within the head that can be used for retrospective motion correction for brain MRI. 3D FatNavs typically use very high acceleration factors and are reconstructed with the GRAPPA parallel imaging technique. However, the GRAPPA reconstruction is not expected to perform well on 3D FatNavs volumes in the presence of strong motion due to the mismatched calibration data acquired once at the start of the scan, leading to motion-parameter misestimation. This study aims to assess the accuracy and precision of 3D FatNav-derived motion-estimates in the presence of large changes in head position.
