Synopsis

Visit any magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facility, and all will agree that patient motion is an ongoing matter. This holds particularly true for pediatric facilities performing functional MRI (fMRI) exams. During fMRI exams, motion artifacts are subtle and contribute to data corruption which is not discovered until the data is analyzed. To enable the technologist to intervene when motion occurs, a real-time motion monitoring system “Slice Localization Integrated MRI Monitoring” (SLIMM) was established to detect motion and reduce the amount of scan time necessary while simultaneously increasing the quality of data collected.
