3 Real-Time MRI – Robust, Fast, and Continuous Biomed NMR JF11/52 Echo-Planar and Spiral Imaging - Limited Spatial Resolution (single-shot version) - Not Continuous (unless gradient-echo version with low flip angle) - T2* and Off-Resonance Problems Fast Spin-Echo (RARE) MRI - High SAR (high field), Not Continuous STEAM MRI - Low SNR, Not Continuous FLASH MRI - Very Short TR/TE (high bandwidth), Low SAR, Continuous - Fast? Undersampling!

4 Real-Time MRI – Radial vs Cartesian Encoding Biomed NMR JF11/42 Cartesian Simple Image Reconstruction - Inverse Fourier Transformation Radial Robust Against Motion - No Phase Encoding - Central Sampling of k Space Equivalence of Individual Spokes - Tolerance Against Undersampling - Minor Loss of Spatial Resolution
