Venous malformations (VM) and lymphatic malformations (LM) are congenital lesions that may develop anywhere in the body, leading to functional or cosmetic impairment, pain or bleeding. These lesions are typically treated percutaneously using ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance. However, certain lesion locations complicate treatment by those modalities. Real-time MR-guided intervention serves as a safer alternative, with better visualization of surrounding critical soft tissue structures. We present our first year of experience with this technique using a short bore 1.5T MRI/X-Ray "Miyabi" suite
