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.
