목적 : 자기공명영상(MRI) 획득시 피험자의 머리 움직임은 영상의 품질에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 영상 왜곡의 발생 원인이 되는 피험자의 움직임을 감지하기 위한 3차원 광학 추적 시스템을 제작하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 시스템은 두 대의 CCD 카메라 및 적외선 조명, 구형 반사 마커, 프레임 그래버(frame grabber)와 데스크탑 컴퓨터로 구성되었다. 두 대의 카메라를 이용하여 마커의 움직임을 관측하는 스테레오 비전 시스템을 제작하고, 카메라의 내부/외부 매개변수를 측정하는 캘리브레이션(calibration)과 측정된 매개변수를 이용하여 3차원 움직임 정보를 계산하는 삼각측량(triangulation)기법을 적용하였다. 캘리브레이션 보드와 피험자용 안경을 제작하여 움직임 추적의 정확도와 실제MRI 영상 촬영 동안의 움직임 검출의 유효성을 평가하였다. 결과 : 반사 마커가 부착된 안경을 쓴 피험자들이 MRI 영상 촬영 동안 머리를 규칙적으로 움직였을 때, 시스템은 MRI의 고자장 환경 내에서도 영상에 영향을 주지 않고 피험자들의 움직임을 잘 감지했다. 결론 : 제작한 스테레오 비전 시스템은피험자의 머리 움직임을 잘 감지하였고, 실시간 알림 기능을 통해 피험자의 움직임을 중지할 수 있도록 알려줌으로써 MRI 영상에 영향을 주는 것을 최소화할 수 있다.
Abstract
Purpose : During brain MRI scanning, subject’s head motion can adversely affect MRI images. To minimize MR image distortion by head movement, we developed an optical tracking system to detect the 3-D movement of subjects. Materials and Methods: The system consisted of 2 CCD cameras, two infrared illuminators, reflective sphere-type markers, and frame grabber with desktop PC. Using calibration which is the procedure to calculate intrinsic/extrinsic parameters of each camera and triangulation, the system was desiged to detect 3-D coordinates of subject’s head movement. We evaluated the accuracy of 3-D position of reflective markers on both test board and the real MRI scans. Results: The stereo system computed the 3-D position of markers accurately for the test board and for the subject with glasses with attached optical reflective marker, required to make regular head motion during MRI scanning. This head motion tracking didn’t affect the resulting MR images even in the environment varying magnetic gradient and several RF pulses. Conclusion: This system has an advantage to detect subject’s head motion in real-time. Using the developed system,MRI operator is able to determine whether he/she should stop or intervene in MRI acquisition to prevent more image distortions.
