As the ECG in MRI is disturbed by MR gradient swithings, hall sensors are used as input for gradient artifact reduction tools (as adaptive filtering), to provide clean ECG trace. Placed in the MR bore, this sensor was found to give additional information about respiration and heart pulse. We explored the possibility to use these data for patient monitoring during cardiac MRI.
