Arqus MRI
Arqus MRI –
Mocap Camera for MR Environments
In the area of biomedical research and advanced diagnostics, the addition of motion capture technology for kinematic data collection during functional MRI measurements opens new horizons. Qualisys leads this innovative frontier with our Arqus MRI motion capture cameras, designed specifically for use in MR environments.
System setup.
The system can be used in combination with other dedicated MR-compatible equipment, for measuring eye movements and controlling a force manipulandum. To capture head, arm and hand movements, a five-camera system is mounted on MR adapted mounts along the wall connected by MRI shielded, daisy-chained cables to guarantee safety and quality in MRI rooms
Core Features
- Electromagnetic Shielding: Each camera is electromagnetically shielded, acting as a Faraday cage to prevent any interference with MR signals, ensuring pristine data capture.
- High-Resolution Sensors: High resolution of 9MP capable of capturing 4mm markers at 5m distance.
- MRI-Compatible Calibration Kit: A comprehensive calibration kit designed specifically for MRI environments enables precise setup and ensures accurate, reliable motion capture data.
- Real-Time Visualization: With less than 10ms latency, the system offers real-time tracking and preview, allowing for immediate feedback and adjustments during sessions.
- Seamless Software Integration: The Qualisys Track Manager (QTM) software facilitates easy operation and direct export capabilities to MATLAB and other analysis programs, enhancing research workflows.

Built with purpose
- Electromagnetic radiation from unshielded electrical devices may interfere with the MR scanner, resulting in degraded imaging results. Materials used inside an MRI room should be non-magnetic to the greatest extent possible.
- The Arqus MRI camera is specifically designed for MR environments, using protected housing and electromagnetic shielding. This shielding acts as a Faraday cage, making it suitable for MR use.
A Unique Laboratory Setting
Qualisys dedicated MR-compatible motion capture cameras provide the unique opportunity to capture information about human and object motion within MR environments for applications such as identifying motion artifact, quantifying stimuli and physiological responses during imaging, and ensuring repeatable joint positioning for structural investigations.
