    • Improvements to the art of orientation measurement are disclosed whereby the phase angle of each of the plurality of orientation dependent radiation patterns is measured at a single common and unique point of measurement on the observation surface and correspondingly in the image of the observation surface, and whereby a central landmark is located at the point of measurement without loss of accuracy in the determination of the plurality of phase angles of orientation dependent radiation so that the precise point of measurement can be determined in the image without errors introduced by an offset between the positions of landmarks and the position of phase angle measurement. Additionally, the preferred embodiment provides characteristics of the central landmark and other landmarks of the orientation dependent radiation source which provide a means to resolve the cosine ambiguity, which is known to those skilled in the arts of image-based orientation measurement as a challenge and source of error for prior-art image-based orientation measurement means.

    • Current MRI technologies require subjects to remain largely motionless for achieving high quality magnetic resonance (MR) scans, typically for 5-10 minutes at a time. However, lying absolutely still inside the tight MR imager (MRI) tunnel is a difficult task, especially for children, very sick patients, or the mentally ill. Even motion ranging less than 1 mm or 1 degree can corrupt a scan. This invention involves a system that adaptively compensates for subject motion in real-time. An object orientation marker, preferably a retro-grate reflector (RGR), is placed on a patients' head or other body organ of interest during MRI. The RGR makes it possible to measure the six degrees of freedom (x, y, and z-translations, and pitch, yaw, and roll), or “pose”, required to track the organ of interest. A camera-based tracking system observes the marker and continuously extracts its pose. The pose from the tracking system is sent to the MR scanner via an interface, allowing for continuous correction of scan planes and position in real-time. The RGR-based motion correction system has significant advantages over other approaches, including faster tracking speed, better stability, automatic calibration, lack of interference with the MR measurement process, improved ease of use, and long-term stability. RGR-based motion tracking can also be used to correct for motion from awake animals, or in conjunction with other in vivo imaging techniques, such as computer tomography, positron emission tomography (PET), etc.
    • 目前的MRI技术要求受试者保持大部分不动,以实现高质量的磁共振(MR)扫描,通常每次5-10分钟。 然而,谎言绝对仍然在严格的MR成像仪(MRI)隧道是一项艰巨的任务,特别是对于儿童,非常病的病人或精神病患者。 即使距离小于1mm或1度的运动也可能会损坏扫描。 本发明涉及一种实时自适应补偿受试者运动的系统。 在MRI期间将物体取向标记物(优选地是反转格栅反射器(RGR))放置在病人的头部或其他身体器官上。 RGR可以测量跟踪感兴趣的器官所需的六个自由度(x,y和z-平移,俯仰,偏航和滚动)或“姿势”。 基于相机的跟踪系统观察标记并持续提取其姿态。 来自跟踪系统的姿势通过接口被发送到MR扫描仪,允许实时扫描平面和位置的连续校正。 基于RGR的运动校正系统具有优于其他方法的显着优点,包括更快的跟踪速度,更好的稳定性,自动校准,对MR测量过程的干扰,改进的易用性和长期的稳定性。 还可以使用基于RGR的运动跟踪来校正来自清醒动物的运动,或者与其他体内成像技术(例如计算机断层摄影,正电子发射断层摄影(PET)等)相结合)。
