ABSTRACT:
A method for correcting striation artifacts that are generated during a magnetic resonance imaging method. The method involves generating an image of a body area. The image is reconstructed from raw data collected in a spatial-frequency domain. As some of the data points in the raw data from which the image is generated are corrupted, the image of the body area contains striation artifacts. A region containing a homogenous material is selected. Next, the corrupted data points in the raw data are detected and corrected vis-a-vis a Fourier transform correction process, and a new corrected image essentially free of striation artifacts is generated.
