(57) Abstract :
The invention relates to a motion monitoring system (1) for monitoring motion within a region of interest (2). The motion
monitoring system (1) comprises a magnetic induction tomography detection data acquisition unit (3) for acquiring MIT detection
data of the region of interest (2) and a motion determining unit (4) for determining motion within the region of interest (2) based
on the acquired MIT detection data. The invention relates further to an imaging system for imaging a region of interest comprising
the motion monitoring system (1). The determined motion can be used for reducing motion artifacts in reconstructed images.
