Examples of the T2*-weighted source images and their corresponding T2* maps in two patients (top and bottom) who failed to hold their breath during the breath-hold MGRE T2* scan: Severe ghosting and image blurring artifacts caused by respiratory motion during image acquisition are evident in the T2*-weighted images acquired with segmented MGRE; the corresponding T2* maps were also corrupted by respiratory motion (a and c), while the single-shot MOCO GRE-EPI acquisition effectively froze respiratory motion during the image acquisition and produced artifact-free T2* maps during free-breathing (b and d)
