abstract = {MR guidance is used during therapy to detect and compensate
for lesion motion. T2 -weighted MRI often has a superior
lesion contrast in comparison to T1 -weighted real-time
imaging. The purpose of this work was to design a fast T2
-weighted sequence capable of simultaneously acquiring two
orthogonal slices, enabling real-time tracking of lesions.To
generate a T2 contrast in two orthogonal slices
simultaneously, a sequence (Ortho-SFFP-Echo) was designed
that samples the T2 -weighted spin echo (S- ) signal in a
TR-interleaved acquisition of two slices. Slice selection
and phase-encoding directions are swapped between the
slices, leading to a unique set of spin-echo signal
conditions. To minimize motion-related signal dephasing,
additional flow-compensation strategies are implemented. In
both the abdominal breathing phantom and in vivo
experiments, a time series was acquired using
Ortho-SSFP-Echo. The centroid of the target was tracked in
postprocessing steps.In the phantom, the lesion could be
identified and delineated in the dynamic images. In the
volunteer experiments, the kidney was visualized with a T2
contrast at a temporal resolution of 0.45 s under
free-breathing conditions. A respiratory belt demonstrated a
strong correlation with the time course of the kidney
centroid in the head-foot direction. A hypointense
saturation band at the slice overlap did not inhibit lesion
tracking in the semi-automatic postprocessing steps.The
Ortho-SFFP-Echo sequence delivers real-time images with a T2
-weighted contrast in two orthogonal slices. The sequence
allows for simultaneous acquisition, which could be
beneficial for real-time motion tracking in radiotherapy or
interventional MRI.},
