  • SENSING MOTION IN MRI USING RF INTERMODULATION
    Publication number: 20240230813
    Abstract: A method of sensing motion in an MRI scanner includes transmitting at least two tones having different frequencies, using intermodulation to combine the two tones, transmitting the two tones as a combined signal during an MRI scan of a patient, receiving the combined signal using a receiver in the MRI scanner, demodulating the combined signal to produce a demodulated signal, and analyzing the demodulated signal to detect motion of the patient during the MRI scan.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 17, 2022
    Publication date: July 11, 2024
    Inventors: Shimon M. Lustig, Suma Mandayam Anand, Alan Dong
