Abstract

According to a method of detecting and compensating for MRI scan errors, MRI scan data are received. At least one statistical boundaries is determined for the generated data. The data are observed in K-space. The observed K-space data are compared to the determined statistical boundary. Data that are likely undesirable, based on the comparison, are removed. The removed data are replaced with substitute data to modify the data set. Images are generated from the modified data set.
