Method and system for motion compensation in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging

A method and system are provided for imaging by predicting, from multiple real time MR imaging data, motion of an object and subsequently obtaining high-resolution imaging data of the object using the predicted motion of the object. Thus, the process uses real time images to derive a history of the motion of the object and thereby generate a predicted trajectory of the object and then uses this trajectory to determine the projected position of the object during a subsequent, separate, high-resolution data acquisition phase.
