Abstract
A system for imaging an object is provided including a first imaging acquisition module, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition module, and a first reconstruction module. The first imaging acquisition module is configured to acquire imaging information using a first non-MRI modality. The MRI acquisition module is configured to acquire MR non-imaging, foreign structure (NFIS) information. The MR NFIS information is acquired via at least one tracking coil associated with an external non-therapeutic (ENT) structure. The MR NIFS information corresponds to at least one of a position or orientation of the ENT structure. The first reconstruction module is configured to obtain the MR NIFS information and use the MR NIFS information to correct an attenuation in the imaging information acquired by the first imaging acquisition module associated with the ENT structure.
