    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging method includes acquisition of datasets of magnetic resonance data from an object. At least some of the datasets are undersampled in k-space. Each dataset relating to a motion state of the object. Images are reconstructed from each of the datasets by way of a compressed sensing reconstruction. Motion correction is applied to the reconstructed images relative to a selected motion state, so as to generate motion corrected images. A diagnostic image for the selected motion state is derived, e.g. by averaging from the motion corrected images.
