Imaging respiratory motion in the abdomen using MR is a
challenge because of the limited speed of subsequent MR
acquisitions. We developed a hybrid MR-US setup that
exploits the very high acquisition rates of a 1d
ultrasound probe for boosting the temporal resolution of
MR image sequences. The 1d ultrasound data provides a
fingerprint of the complex abdominal configuration at
any respiratory state. Previously-acquired MR data are
combined based on these fingerprints to produce a
high-speed image sequence. The system even allows to
continue "acquiring" MR images outside the scanner,
based solely on the US signal.
