Respiration motion artifacts remain a major problem in MRI, particularly at higher imaging resolution and field strength. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using a MR-compatible in-bore camera system to perform contactless monitoring of respiratory information during MRI of human subjects. A good match to the respiratory data is apparent in terms of the timing of trough, and ICC between trigger intervals from the respiratory belt data and video-derived signals is 0.97, meaning that this optical system can monitor and correct in end-expiratory, in addition to simultaneously detecting random motion based on our previous work.
