Magnetic Resonance Sequences and Rapid Acquisition for MR-Guided Interventions

Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am. 2015 Nov;23(4):669-79. doi: 10.1016/j.mric.2015.05.006. Epub 2015 Aug 12.

Abstract

Interventional MR uses rapid imaging to guide diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. One of the attractions of MR-guidance is the abundance of inherent contrast mechanisms available. Dynamic procedural guidance with real-time imaging has pushed the limits of MR technology, demanding rapid acquisition and reconstruction paired with interactive control and device visualization. This article reviews the technical aspects of real-time MR sequences that enable MR-guided interventions.

Keywords: MR image reconstruction; Non-Cartesian imaging; Parallel imaging; Real-time MR imaging.
