Hi Cynthia
motion in 3D anatomical scans doesn't work the same way as in 2D functional
scans since the data is being acquired in spatial frequency ("k-space"),
not in space. There are sequences around that compensate for motion,
including one recently developed at MGH by M Dylan Tisdall and Andre van
der Kouwe, but you probably are not using a motion-compensated sequence so
there's not much to do to correct it. You could look at the noise in the
background to try to compute amount of motion, but typically we just
visualize them
cheers
