Synopsis

Rapid imaging techniques can improve patient outcomes and reduce costs during MRI-guided interventions. This talk will cover 5 common strategies for accelerating guidance MR acquisitions and give examples of their implementation from interventional MRI programs groups across the globe. These strategies include using time wisely, reducing fields of view, multiplexing, changing k-space trajectories, skipping data. I conclude with some brief speculation on the potential use of machine learning and AI to further accelerate guidance imaging.
