Motion robust imaging for continuous intraoperative MRI.

The sensitivity of MR imaging to motion and susceptibility normally requires that the physician using intraoperative MRI cease surgical activity while image data sets are acquired. We demonstrate that line scan imaging allows the physician to continue operating without the delays caused by imaging. Consequently, patient anesthesia, surgery, and operating room time can be reduced. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2001;13:158-161. Copyright 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
