Synopsis

In cancer radiotherapy, MR-guidance allows for superior tumor visualization and real-time target volume tracking. Real-time pulse sequences for MR-guidance require high acquisition speeds and good tumor-to-background contrast, which is often achieved with T2-weighted acquisitions. Here, we combine a real-time sequence with orthogonal slices with a T2w echo-shifted contrast and demonstrate its use under breathhold and free-breathing conditions in a volunteer.
