Using external hardware to track patient motion allows for high frequency, accurate prospective motion correction that is robust to changes in coil set-up and subject anatomy. However, this typically comes at the expense of increased hardware complexity, difficulties in marker placement and in some cases cross-calibration. To address some of these challenges, we have developed a small, battery powered marker that uses the three-dimensional gradient spatial encoding, visible through Faraday induction, for vector-based position and orientation estimates. The device enables wireless, calibration-free prospective motion correction that can be used on an ad-hoc basis in an unmodified scanner.
