Abstract
A system and method is provided for controlling against artifacts in medical imaging. The system includes an array of ultrasound sensors, each ultrasound sensor in the array of ultrasound sensors located at a variety of different spatial locations on a subject being imaged by an imaging system configured to generate medical imaging data and each ultrasound sensor configured to receive ultrasound sensor data. The system also includes a processor configured to receive the ultrasound sensor data from the array of ultrasound sensors, multiplex the ultrasound sensor data, generate anatomical information from the multiplexed ultrasound sensor data and correlated to the imaging system, and deliver the anatomical information to the imaging system in a form for use by the imaging system to either acquire the imaging data using the anatomical information or reconstruct the imaging data using the anatomical information.
