L'artefact de mouvement en IRM [imagerie par résonance magnétique] est dû soit aux mouvements globaux du patient, soit aux mouvements d'un seul organe du patient pendant une séquence d'imagerie. Lorsque le patient bouge globalement, on observe un flou sur la totalité de l'image. Lorsque seul un organe (cœur, intestin) bouge, le flou ne concerne que la région de l'organe considéré. L'artefact de mouvement est surtout visible dans le sens du codage de phase. 2, record 1, French, - art%C3%A9fact%20de%20mouvement
