Motion artifacts in MRI images can be reduced with
prospective motion correction system. However, results
are sensitive to the accuracy of the motion tracking
system and finding a sensitive metric for quantifying
the effectiveness of the correction has been elusive. We
tested two different marker positions; either mounted on
the nose bridge or mounted on a mouth guard, and
proposed a quantitative approach to compare
effectiveness of motion correction. We found that the
mouth guard outperforms the nose bridge fixation for
accurately tracking the head motion and produce
motion-free images.
