MRI compatible video cameras

Video monitoring during MRI scans in routine and research

MRC's video cameras have been developed for the use in MRI scanners or anywhere in the intervention room of an MRI scanner. They are installed in various environments all over the world ranging from 0.23 to 9.4 T. We can equip the cameras with various lenses to optimise the field of view, magnification, and working distance for your application.

Complete MR-compatible eye-tracking solution

For eye-tracking applications we offer a complete solution with our video cameras, infrared LEDs, the MRC eye-tracking software and specific camera mirror mounts. The system can be installed very easily and quickly and ensures a perfect camera alignment at the eye. It can be used with all MRI scanners without artefacts. The hardware is also compatible to all established eye tracking software solutions.

Motion Tracking in the MRI

For motion tracking in the MRI we offer a modular system with hardware and software modules for marker-based mono and stereo tracking. The modules can be flexibly integrated into complete applications. You can find an overview in the brochure. If you are interested in special solutions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

MRI compatible LED light sources

As additional accessories we offer MRI compatible light sources. These are based on LEDs and can be used for illumination in applications like eye-tracking or face monitoring. We have two different products: the small in-bore "MRC LED" and the long-range "MR-LED-ARRAY-18X". The in-bore "MRC LED" can be attached beside a camera. The "MR-LED-ARRAY-18X" can be used to illuminate subjects or objects from a greater distance. There is a version with a narrow beam angle which can be used to illuminate the eyes or the face of a subject, for example. Please check the manuals for further information.

Camera-mirror mounts

Our camera-mirror mounts are perfect for various in-bore applications. On each mount, one or two cameras can be placed behind the semi-transparent mirror. The cameras can look through the mirror and watch the subject, whereas the subject cannot see the camera behind the mirror. Thus it is possible to present a stimulus via the mirror and perform e.g. eye-tracking or face-monitoring at the same time.

We offer our camera-mirror mounts for different head coils. If your head coil is not listed in the type overview, please ask us. In many cases a solution is possible.
