Spiral MRI is fast and low SAR, and therefore has
potential utility for MR-guided interventions. To remove
distortions in spiral MR images, gradient waveform
imperfections must be corrected. In this abstract, the
measured gradient system impulse response function is
used to correct k-space trajectories in real-time for
arbitrary image orientations and is demonstrated to
remove image distortions in a phantom. In addition, an
interactive off-resonance reconstruction is used to
de-blur image regions of interest. In vivo, spiral
imaging is performed with 10-15 frames/second. The
introduction of these real-time distortion corrections
will make spiral MR-guided interventions feasible.
