The presented 3D acquisition protocol enables DGE-MRI examinations in the human brain with improved robustness against motion-induced artifacts. Correction of motion-induced artifacts is of high importance for DGE-MRI in clinical studies where an unambiguous assignment of contrast changes due to an actual change in local glucose concentration is a prerequisite.
