ABSTRACT:
One aspect of the invention is a method for reconstructing a moving table MR image. The method comprises receiving an input array that includes a plurality of uncorrected k-space data points. The method further comprises clearing a summation array. For uncorrected k-space data points in the input array the following steps are performed. A kernel associated with the k-space data point is obtained. Corrected data is created in response to the k-space data point, the input array and the kernel. Creating the corrected data includes correcting the uncorrected k-space data point for gradient non-linearities, where the correction is performed in k-space, and correcting the uncorrected k-space data point for table movement. The corrected data is added into the summation array. The image is reconstructed in response to the data in the summation array.
