title: Facilities for monitoring blood flow during MR-guided diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
abstract: In this paper we describe a hardware and software environment for making available quantitative blood flow data inside and outside the magnetic resonance (MR) scanner room during MR-guided diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. The configuration allows for triggered and nontriggered examinations and provides the interventionalist with updated results within 1 second from data acquisition. The practicality of the setup and its potential for clinical and investigative purposes are demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 1999;10:845-850.
