Optical systems have been proposed as a way to achieve rigid head motion correction with minimal changes to the pulse sequence. However, the usability of these systems in clinical practice have been limited mostly due to the tedious scanner-optical system cross-calibration routine that is required to link the frame of references of the optical system and the MR scanner. In this study, we propose a fast cross-calibration routine that is easy and takes only a couple of seconds. The variability of the scanner-camera cross calibration parameters with varying sequence parameters was investigated.
