Abstract

See full text

Magnetic resonance imaging frame rate is increased using ultrasound information. Magnetic resonance (MR) images may be provided at an increased frame rate relative to the MR acquisition. For times between acquisition of MR data, MR data may be created. To account for any change in position of tissue over time, ultrasound is used to track the location of tissue or other imaged structure. The ultrasound-based location information is used to indicate the position of intensities or values of the created MR data. MR images at a higher frame rate than the MR acquisition are generated, but with accuracy of relative position based on the ultrasound data.
