    Abstract: The present application provides a breathing and motion monitoring method for an MRI system, an MRI system and method, and a storage medium. The MRI includes a scanner, a controller, and a signal processor. The scanner includes a radio-frequency transmit chain and a radio-frequency transmit coil, and an object under detection is positioned relative to the radio-frequency transmit coil. The controller is configured to control the scanner to perform a scanning sequence on the object under detection to acquire image data. The scanning sequence includes a radio-frequency excitation stage, a signal acquisition stage, and an idle stage. In the radio-frequency excitation stage, the radio-frequency transmit chain transmits a first radio-frequency pulse to the radio-frequency transmit coil. The signal processor is configured to acquire scattering parameters of the radio-frequency transmit coil in real time, wherein in the radio-frequency excitation stage, a first radio-frequency power signal detected on a line between the radio-frequency transmit chain and the radio-frequency transmit coil is acquired in real time, and the scattering parameters are acquired on the basis of the signal; and at least one of breathing information and motion information of the object under detection is acquired on the basis of the scattering parameters.
