Neuro applications such as fMRI, DWI or PWE imaging that use EPI readouts for image encoding often suffer from rigid body motion of the head. We present a method that uses the high frequency content of the EPI trajectory to track the positions of a field probe array attached to the head that is robust against field fluctuations and is combined with concurrent field monitoring in the head frame of reference. We report a localization precision of 12 micrometers and show successful continuous slice tracking during a 3-minute EPI acquisiton well suited for fMRI.
