Ultra-thin miniature solenoid coil markers were designed and printed on the needle using conductive ink. A negative contrast is created around the needle by applying an alternative current to the markers and hence introducing an offset to the B1 field. A signal generator circuit is designed for supplying and controlling the AC signal and the visibility of the needle is tested under MRI with in-vitro experiments during a real time b-SSFP sequence.
