The Co-RASOR imaging technique for high temporal resolution passive device visualization was implemented in the interventional Suite software package. This facilitates MRI-guided device tracking by combining high temporal resolution color overlays on top of high spatial resolution 3D roadmaps. Titanium needles were accurately depicted in two orthogonal planes with 2.5Hz framerate, facilitating easy freehand needle targeting. The ability to adapt crucial Co-RASOR reconstruction parameters, including the off-resonance value, during the intervention was demonstrated to provide unprecedented flexibility and robustness in device visualization.
