Conclusion
- The proposed solution to real-time MRI offers pronounced motion robustness, high image quality, no sensitivities to artifacts as known from alternative high-speed MRI techniques, and flexibility in temporal resolution, spatial resolution, and image contrast.
- This real-time MRI technology will find many new applications in different areas:
- Dynamic accessment of myocardial and valve functioning, and (turbulent) blood flow properties in the heart or large vessels
- Online visualization of administration and uptake of contrast agent
- Real-time monitoring of minimally invasive surgical and interventional procedures, etc.
