Abstract
Reliable visualization of instruments inside the body is essential for safe and successful execution of interventional procedures. The device should be easy to identify in the MR image and should be visible throughout the procedure under various imaging conditions. An ideal method would provide some form of high contrast signature for the device, along with high resolution for accurate placement. An additional requirement is speed, to provide the realtime feedback necessary for interactive guidance.
