Implementation and characterization of MIMO RF navigators towards robust TR-by-TR head motion sensing

Puntos clave

The system presents a novel approach for robust motion sensing in MRI, reducing the common artifacts caused by head movements.
Optimized transmission frequency determined for head motion sensing significantly enhances the sensitivity of the RF navigators.
Characterization of a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system demonstrates effective artifact management during MRI scans.
The findings highlight the potential for real-time motion tracking, offering improved outcomes for MRI imaging processes.

Resumen

Motivation: Motion is among the most common sources of artifacts in MRI. RF navigators address this challenge by providing a powerful and sensitive method for contact-free motion sensing. Goal(s): This work seeks to evaluate the motion sensitivity of RF navigators towards optimizing their use for head motion sensing. Approach: In this work we characterize a multi-input multi-output system for head motion sensing using pilot tone and beat pilot tone. Results: The frequency-sensitivity of beat pilot tone was evaluated and an optimal transmission frequency was identified for head motion sensing. The impact of artifacts due to vibration is investigate Impact: We present and characterize the first system for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) RF motion sensing with BPT and PT, aimed toward head motion sensing and correction at arbitrary frequencies, and simultaneous to the MRI exam.
