We use simulations to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel approach to motion tracking, which is based on using a 16-probe field camera to monitor the fields generated by briefly passing currents through small coils affixed to the head. Using previously recorded head motion data we show that changes in head position can be accurately estimated from the measured field changes. The benefits of this approach are that problematic line-of-sight access to markers is not required (cf. optical approaches) and that it could be implemented without modification of the MRI sequence (cf. navigators).
How to access this content:
For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
