Abstract

Due to the recent advances in ultra-wideband (UWB)-radar technologies, there has been widespread interest in medical applications of this technology. We propose the multimodal combination of magnetic resonance (MR) and UWB-radar for improved functional diagnosis and imaging. A demonstrator was established to prove the feasibility of simultaneous acquisition of physiological events by magnetic resonance imaging and UWB-radar.
