Three stationary water molecules (X, Y, Z) in one voxel, undergoing respiratory motion. Respiratory motion induces a linear phase shift but does not cause phase dispersion. Because of the maintained phase coherence among the three water molecules, MRI signal is preserved (MPG motion probing gradient, RF radio frequency)
