In MR-guided interventions passive markers serve as needle guides for percutaneous biopsies and can be followed automatically to visualize the planned needle trajectory. This is achieved by tracking techniques which acquire two cross-sectional Cartesian tracking images of a cylindrical marker to determine the position information. We show that the implementation of radially undersampled tracking images might be used to reduce the duration of percutaneous needle procedures by about 80%.
