Abstract

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for generating susceptibility-related contrast images, as induced, e.g., by marker material interventional devices used for passive MR-guided interventions, or by particles or cells loaded with marker materials used for molecular imaging, cell-tracking or cell-labeling. Near a local magnetic field perturber a positive contrast signal emanates from local gradient compensation to form, e.g., a balanced SSFP type of echo, whereas everywhere else echoes are shifted outside of the data acquisition window.
