Abstract
Real‐time interactive MRI is becoming the method of choice for many cardiac applications. One current limitation of real‐time techniques is inaccurate slice registration during free‐breathing. A simple “triggered real‐time” imaging approach is proposed which enables the acquisition of synchronized and accurately registered real‐time movie loops during short breathholds. Initial in vivo results demonstrate application to complete 4D ventricular function assessment and fully resolved flow imaging. Magn Reson Med 49:188–192, 2003. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Functional MRI (fMRI) methods have been demonstrated to noninvasively identify motor-sensory, visual, and other areas of eloquent cortex for guiding surgical intervention. Typically, fMRI data are acquired preoperatively during a conventional surgical planning MRI examination. Unlike direct cortical
