Synopsis

We evaluated the utility of electro-magnetic (E/M) based tracking to correct for motion at 7 Tesla. A 3D Turbo-FLASH sequence was modified to include prospective field-of-view (FOV) steering and track motion events. Custom software provided FOV updates to the TFL sequence from E/M sensor location measurements. Motion events recorded by the software indicated time-periods when acquired data was likely corrupted due to motion. Logic within the sequence re-acquired motion-corrupted k-space data segments to yield high-quality high-spatial-resolution images. Results demonstrate the viability of E/M tracking at 7T.
