Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is unique for interventional use in that it has a spatial resolution independent of the wave length of the electromagnetic field used for imaging, various image parameters relating to physical properties of the subject, superior soft-tissue contrast, freedom in slicing angle, and non-radiation nature. Total treatment assistancebased on lesion identification, treatment planning, device tracking, temperature imaging and treatment assessment is possiblewith these features. In this article, a few latest topics in the interventional MRI are introduced with a short review ofthe instrumentation engineering aspect of the techniques.
