Real-time visualization is crucial to the
success of MRI-guided minimally invasive cancer interventions. In this work we combine iSSFP with a golden-angle(GA) ordered
radial trajectory and non-Cartesian parallel imaging to create a new real-time MRI
sequence with good tissue contrast while suppressing bSSFP banding artifacts. Phantom and volunteer data were acquired and reconstructed using a combined
sliding-window SPIRiT algorithm, at different frame rates, showing the capability of the sequence to achieve real-time imaging.
These advantages of GA Radial iSSFP show its potential for improving real-time MRI-guided interventions.
