Synopsis

In this abstract we present initial feasibility results of a novel pneumatic sensor-based head motion detection and tracking system for MRI. The system comprises of head pad with a built in matrix of air pressure sensors, which replaces the standard head pad in an MRI scan and allows fast sequence agnostic tracking of head motions without the need for navigators, head markers or camera systems. Here, we show initial results for motion detection and head pose estimation in phantom studies using a motion model trained outside the scanner.
