## Abstract Many MR‐guided interventional procedures rely on fast imaging sequences for providing images in real‐time with a precise relation between the target position in the image and its true position. Echo‐planar imaging (EPI) methods are very fast but prone to geometric distortions. Here, we

Abstract
The ultra‐high‐speed echo‐planar imaging (EPI) method is combined with velocity encoding prior to EPI read‐out, thereby allowing real‐time measurement of flow. Results of EPI flow measurement experiments are presented on phantoms and human volunteers. © 1991 Academic Press. Inc.

## Abstract A novel spiral phase contrast (PC) technique was developed for high temporal resolution imaging of blood flow without cardiac gating. An autocalibrated spiral sensitivity encoding (SENSE) method is introduced and used to reconstruct PC images. Numerical simulations and a flow phantom st
## Abstract ## Purpose To develop a method that automatically corrects ghosting artifacts due to echo‐misalignment in interleaved gradient‐echo echo‐planar imaging (EPI) in arbitrary oblique or double‐oblique scan planes. ## Materials and Methods An automatic ghosting correction technique was de
Ultrafast gradient systems and hybrid imaging sequences offer the opportunity to acquire phase contrast flow data in real time. In a 1.5-Tesla magnetic resonance (MR)-tomograph, peak velocity and volume flow were assessed in 36 large vessels (aorta) and 33 medium-sized vessels (carotid and iliac art
Arterial spin tagging techniques have been used to image tissue perfusion in MR without contrast injection or ionizing radiation. Currently, spin tagging studies are performed primarily using single-slice imaging sequences, which are time consuming. This note reports a multislice echo-planar arteria
