Optical camera calibration to implement various marker-based motion correction techniques in open geometry 0.5 T upright scanner

Open MRI scanner improves patient comfort but allows movement during scanning. Hence, implementation of MoCo techniques is crucial to maximize image quality. Here, we established a method to use a standard commercial optical motion tracking set-up in an Open MRI scanner. The optical system has been calibrated to provide tracking measurements in the image reference frame. Then, a simple phantom movement was tested and corrected using NUFFT algorithm in BART.
