The development of an appropriate guidance support is essential to simplify and shorten MRI guided percutaneous interventions. We present a new tracking system and sequence enabling intuitive, interactive and precise instrument navigation with the aid of an optical Moiré Phase tracking system from the inside of the MRI scanner. The system was evaluated regarding targeting error and skin to target time by experienced interventional radiologist and novice users, revealing a precise (0.99mm±0.47mm), fast (155s±62s) and simple real-time needle guidance.
