Accelerated motion correction with deep generative diffusion models.

Purpose: The aim of this work is to develop a method to solve the ill-posed inverse problem of accelerated image reconstruction while correcting forward model imperfections in the context of subject motion during MRI examinations.

Methods: The proposed solution uses a Bayesian framework based on deep generative diffusion models to jointly estimate a motion-free image and rigid motion estimates from subsampled and motion-corrupt two-dimensional (2D) k-space data.

Results: We demonstrate the ability to reconstruct motion-free images from accelerated two-dimensional (2D) Cartesian and non-Cartesian scans without any external reference signal.
