19
F
NMR field probes are used to track subject head motion
and field fluctuations due to motion and breathing at a
9.4 T human scanner. The field probes are rigidly
attached to the subjects head via a bite bar. A custom
made transmit/receive chain using a PCB and external
signal processing prevents the use of scanner receive
channels. With this setup, position measurements are
possible with a standard deviation of 57 m or smaller
depending on the axis as well as field measurements with
a standard deviation of 3 Hz.
