T
2
-weighted (T
2
W) images have
widespread application in MRI and are particularly
valued in interventional MRI. However, most existing T
2
W
imaging techniques are not applicable to interventional
imaging and are much slower than other competing imaging
modalities used in interventional guidance. We present T
2
-weighted
radial interrupted balanced SSFP (T
2
W-riSSFP),
a technique allows high speed real-time imaging as well
as edema visualization with significant T
2
contrast.
This technique was evaluated on phantoms, normal human
subjects, and animal model with acute myocardial
infarction and edema. T
2
W-riSSFP can be
applied to real-time interventional guidance where
heavily T
2
-weighted images are needed.
