This investigation was performed to test the hypotheses that interactive guidance of MR image acquisition during needle-directed procedures using a clinical 0.2-T C-arm open MR imaging system integrated with a frameless optically linked stereotaxy system is feasible, and that procedure times can be sufficiently short to be well tolerated by the patient.
