This study attempts to use video recording as a tool for physiology monitoring in an MRI scanner. During a cardiac cycle, facial skin blood perfusion changes alter optical path of ambient light emitted to the subjects face. Using a conventional digital camera to capture the changes of the reflected light and using ICA analysis to remove other sources in light, we identify that this method is feasible in a low-light MRI bore. This method is an optic-based technique which avoids the problem associated with switching gradient system.
